If you’ve ever been on a film set, you know the person quietly keeping everything from falling apart is the First Assistant Director. From building the schedule to bridging communication between departments to keeping the entire shoot on track — the First AD is absolutely invaluable. On “Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think,” our First AD was Ryan Cagle, and hot damn were we lucky to have him. Indie filmmaking means rolling with the punches, and Ryan was there every step of the way, making sure we still made our day despite all the curveballs thrown at us. Ryan Cagle is freshly out of college and is very excited to get the ball rolling in his film career. During his time in college and post-college, Ryan has been on over 40 short film sets, and this production will be his 5th feature film! Ryan was born and raised in Knoxville, TN, before making his way to the University of Alabama. He has a passion for all sides of film. From working as an Assistant Director, shopping for a costume department, and even performing on screen, Ryan wants to be a part of it all!

Running the camera department for a feature film is a beast of a job. We’re sitting down with our Director of Photography, David Ogle, to break down everything that goes into leading the camera crew. From his prep process and how he approaches visual storytelling, to lens selection, shot design, and what it takes to actually film a movie on location — we’re getting into all of it. Indie filmmakers, aspiring cinematographers, or anyone curious about how a DP builds the look of a film, this conversation will be packed with juicy tidbits. Dave has been filming various projects for the past 15 years. He’s done commercials and TV Shows for large brands like RAM, Nat Geo, ESPN, and Spotify. His projects range from commercial, film, and television in both narrative and documentary.  Dave strives for collaboration, believing that when people are connected in a common goal, they do their best work.   Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/ Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056 We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.

There is so much more to costuming a movie than just picking out cool clothes for your actors to wear. Who are your characters!? What are their tastes? Where are they emotionally in the story and how does that affect the clothes they would pick for themselves in that moment? And after you make all those important decisions, how do you keep it all organized for something as massive as a feature film?! It’s a lot, but luckily, for our movie, Natalie is a pro at making good, grounded choices and keeping it all organized. We’re gonna walk you through her entire process and give you some insights on how we kept our little apocalypse flick moving forward despite how crazy the script was.

The Art Department- without it, your film would be very dull, very flat, very boring. They are responsible for numerous tasks from research, to set design, to set building, to props - you know - basically all the visual elements of your film. This week, we are diving into our incredible art department team: Production Designer Kevin Rigdon and Art Director Trish Rigdon. We’re going to talk through what it really takes to bring a film to life visually — from breaking down the script in pre-production, planning, sourcing, and designing every detail of the world. Then we’ll get into the craziness that is the final week before filming. Transforming a totally empty house into our movie’s primary location, AND yes, building a bunker out of a basement storage space is no small task. We’re going to have a blast and spill all the secrets of how our team made this set look so darn good!

Officially back from filming — and ready to spill all the beans. A lot happened in the month of February: a full week of prep once we landed in Huntsville, AL, two weeks of filming, and another week to wrap it all up. And yes… we’re going to talk about all of it.

We are two weeks away from rolling on our first feature film, and the pre-production scramble is very real. Brand partnerships are falling into place, clearances are getting locked, and deal memos are filling our inboxes faster than we can file them. This episode of We’re Making a Movie is a real-time look at what feature film pre-production actually feels like—everything that happens in the final stretch before cameras roll. If you’re an indie filmmaker, first-time feature director, or curious about what goes into getting a movie off the ground, this is where we’re at right now.

Filmmaking is planning. A LOT of planning. Before you can roll a camera or bring your first crew member on board, there’s an enormous amount of pre-production work that has to happen. For us, that meant creating loglines, one-sheets, and location breakdowns to get a handle on logistics and scope. It’s a lot to manage, and while we’re lucky to have a four-person filmmaking team tackling it from every angle, not everyone has that kind of support system. That’s where Alex D. Lugo and his platform FilmPro.ai come in. We’re going to sit down with Alex and talk all things film pre-production, and dig into what steps he sees as most important to getting a movie ready before the director yells action. Check Out the Site: FilmPro.ai Alex D. Lugo is an award-winning actor, filmmaker, software engineer, and the Co-founder/CEO of FilmPro - a software platform that helps filmmakers simplify pre-production. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Miami, Alex’s work is enriched by his multicultural roots and artistic heritage as the son of Daniel Lugo, an iconic Latin American film and television actor. He is an alumni of the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the founder of the production company Vitruvian Films. On the tech side, Alex began his career as a software engineer at Goldman Sachs before joining Square, where he led several initiatives to integrate AI into their onboarding process. Today, through his work at FilmPro, he is reimagining the future of filmmaking by building tools that empower the next generation of storytellers.

Pre-Production organization on a feature film can be overwhelming. Spreadsheets. Calendars. To-do lists. There are so many things to organize and so many people to coordinate that it's easy to see why making a movie is so incredibly difficult. Enter into the picture an up-and-coming production workflow website called Collabrix that aims to help organize all your information and collaborate with the whole team. The site is still in its infancy, but we’ve convinced Collabrix Founder and CEO Thomas DeCarlo to join us to discuss the site in its current state and what its future looks like. Collabrix Site: https://collabrix.studio/dashboard/ Thomas DeCarlo is a filmmaker-entrepreneur who is currently developing his first animated feature through his studio in southern Indiana. Adapted from his multi-award-winning short film, the feature is pioneering a new class of ultra-small independent animation with Thomas as the film’s writer, director, producer, and primary 3D artist. Thomas is also the Founder and CEO of Collabrix, a virtual collaboration platform that is redefining workflow efficiency for decentralized creative teams. Developed in partnership with his studio, Thomas is leveraging the technology to achieve world-class animation with indie-scale resources.

We’re slated to begin filming our feature, Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think, at the end of February, and it’s officially all systems go.

Marketing your movie starts long before the cameras start rolling — and now that we’ve been greenlit, we are actively working to get the word out about our first feature film. But how? Lucky for us, the perfect people to ask fell into our laps! Filmmaking duo Kerry Carlock and Nick Lund-Ulrich, who are in the middle of premiering their second feature film, SUFFER, are joining the show today. We are excited to pick their brains because if someone else has already survived the chaos twice, we’d be fools not to take notes. Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/ Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056 Nick & Kerry! Married filmmaking duo, KERRY CARLOCK & NICK LUND-ULRICH, work together to create genre-bending, character-driven stories. Their debut feature, Armstrong, was a micro-budget superhero drama starring Vicky Jeudy (Orange is the New Black), which was distributed domestically by Screen Media and Amazon Prime. Both Armstrong and their new film, Suffer, are proud recipients of the ReFrame Stamp, sponsored by Women in Film and the Sundance Institute. The honor is a “mark of distinction for projects that have demonstrated success in gender-balanced film.” Separately, their careers have focused on various parts of production. Kerry served as the SVP of Programming for Pie Town Productions for five years and has been on the producing team of over twenty-five primetime series. Nick is a VFX artist and supervisor who owned his own company, which specialized in environments and compositing for supporting VFX on studio features and independent productions. He won a Visual Effects Society Award and an Emmy for HBO’s The Pacific.
