Kenneth Castillo (Writer, Director, and Producer) and the realities of Independent Filmmaking

In this special episode I chat with writer, director, and producer Kenneth Castillo. Ken has written and directed 7 feature films and many shorts. He discusses his transition from bartending into directing full time, his experiences on set managing actors and crew, connecting with producers, his new Directing for Actors Intensive (applications now open), and much much more. We cover a lot of ground in this episode and it's a great conversation for any aspiring or working filmmaker to hear. Ken drops a lot of knowledge and harsh truths when it comes to working in the film industry but it's sure to leave you inspired. I also share some of my favorite bottles with him. We try Mezcal 33 Joven, Reposado, Nelson Bros Rye, and Frey Ranch rye.To learn more about Kenneth and his work visit his website https://www.kennethcastillofilm.com/ Instagram @director_kenneth_castillo Drinks and a Movie Podcast https://linktr.ee/drinksandamoviepod "Drive by Memories" Short DocumentaryThe Magic of Mezcal 33 Nelsons Greenbrier Distillery
