Sean Weiner - Incubating Emerging Filmmakers

Host Nathan Russell sits down with Sean Weiner, filmmaker and director of the Creative Culture Initiative at the Jacob Burns Film Center, which is a nonprofit art house theater and education center in upstate New York. His position is focused on creating a collaborative atmosphere amongst students, debunking the idea that working in film needs to be a ‘me against the world’ effort. Topics include why young filmmakers should focus on making one, good five-minute film, the importance of considering your audience, and what the Burns looks for in its applicants.This week’s episode is in partnership with Bronx Brewery, the official house beer of the UCB Comedy Podcast Network.
