E303 - Ron Newcomb - How to get an MBA in filmmaking by writing, directing & producing your own film

<p>In this episode, I get to speak with Ron Newcomb. He's an organizer & moderator for the VIP TV & Film Summit, and that's one of the first ways I connected with him. He's a director, writer, actor and producer at The Forge Studios. He's written and directed many award winning shorts and feature length films. And I was like, hey, that's a place that I've been struggling to figure out and have been passionate about for the past, many, many years. How can I get a behind the scenes of what it takes to have a short film that's been produced. how to get out there and connect with people in this field. And I figured Ron is the perfect candidate for us to talk about tv & movie production. </p> <p>Enjoy the episode!</p> <h2><strong>Our Guest</strong></h2> <h4><strong>Ron Newcomb</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Website: http://fantasy.network<br> </li> <li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-newcomb-745a82191"> <u>linkedin.com/in/ron-newcomb-745a82191<br> </u></a></li> <li>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ronnewcomb<br> </li> </ul> <h2><strong>Hacks to take Away</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Entrepreneurial spirit and the biggest business acumen, as well as that creative element people.<br> </li> <li>The certain right alignment of things to come together to be able to really kind of capture it.<br> </li> <li>What could be done what was possible in the digital age.<br> </li> <li>Found the love of directing and producing a product of wanting to keep projects going.<br> </li> <li>Getting shows on the indie-friendly platforms.<br> </li> <li>Sustainable filmmaking.<br> </li> <li>The producer is the one that green lights the projects and gets a project going and without the producer, all these other people get nothing.<br> </li> </ul>
