Ep12: FINALE - Made This Movie

Make This Movie: A Filmmaking Series

We’ve reached the finale of Make This Movie, Season 1.

Thank you so much for coming along on the ride to making Counterintelligence. Many lessons were learned throughout the process, most of which were covered throughout the season’s 12 episodes.

To highlight the ones that were and insert a few that weren’t, in this episode Chris will go down the list of 12 lessons learned while making this movie—one lesson for each episode.

You’ll hear a few statements to back up these lessons from a couple familiar voices, David Pennington, Andréa Tolbert, Michael Hall, Mike Elliott, and Tim Kahn. And you’ll be brought back to Chris’ audio diary.

You’ll even hear Chris’ personal theory on the two types of people in the world: Spielberg people, and Scorsese people.

Counterintelligence is nearly complete now, and due out in the fall of 2018. Not all lessons have been learned or even digested yet, but we hope the ones that have been mean something to you and your filmmaking.

We’ll see you next year for Season 2 of Make This Movie. Thanks for making Season 1 a joy!
