BPS 139: No Film School Needed - Direct & Sell Six Features in Two Years with Elizabeth Blake-Thomas

BPS 139: No Film School Needed - Direct & Sell Six Features in Two Years with Elizabeth Blake-Thomas

I have an inspirational treat for you today. On the show, we have writer/producer/director Elizabeth Blake-Thomas. She has recently financed, written, directed, and sold six feature films in the past two years, with no professional film school training. Elizabeth has been involved in the creative industries for over 30 years. Studying drama from a young age led her to run theatre schools, train other students and companies and work in various creative industries, culminating in where she is now, a director and writer.

When I heard her story I had to hunt her down and find out how she did it. BTW, she's not stopping, Elizabeth is currently in prep for three more feature films. Talk about hustle. She is the definition of the phrase "INDIE FILM HUSTLE."

She is proof that no film school is needed. Enjoy my conversation with Elizabeth Blake-Thomas.
