Get to know the filmmaker:
Few months ago when I was having lunch with a friend, they said “I want to make movies but I don’t have money, I don’t have equipment, I don’t know how, I don’t know where to start…” Filmmaking can be a daunting challenge for those of us who didn’t get any formal education in it or know of anyone around us who does it. Everything I know about filmmaking has been self-taught through constant trial and error and the generous help of Youtube content creators sharing their tips and tricks online for free.

I decided to make PHONE CALL to show them that you can start the journey of filmmaking with whatever you’ve got – even if that’s just you and your smartphone. I had no budget, no other equipment, no fancy tricks or skills to shoot something amazing, but I hope that this microfilm of mine can serve as evidence that anybody can create something and have it be included at festivals.

You can sign up for the 7 day free trial at www.wildsound.ca (available on your streaming services and APPS). There is a DAILY film festival to watch, plus a selection of award winning films on the platform. Then it’s only $3.99 per month.
