Ep 438: Lowell Dean

The Movie Crypt

Filmmaker Lowell Dean (WOLF COP, ANOTHER WOLFCOP, 13 EERIE, SUPERGRID) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey to date. From graduating film school and starting out at a local Canadian TV station… to making the frightening choice of stepping away from the financial security of his full time local TV station gig in order to gamble on himself and shoot his first short film on 16mm short ends… to freelancing as a production assistant whenever and wherever he could find work… to one of the craziest stories you’ll ever hear in regards to how he found himself in the director’s chair of his first feature film… Lowell’s career path is just as inspirational as it is relatable for so, so many aspiring filmmakers looking to get started. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a listener with a question about filmmaking in other countries, Adam shares behind the scenes details about the making of his 23rd annual Halloween short film (GHOST DOG - now playing on the ArieScope YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/CJRXzywsiig), and the boys reveal some of the amateur mistakes they made the first time they attempted to shoot something.
