Here’s the latest episode of The Filmmakers Podcast, part of the podcast roster here on Nerdly. If you haven’t heard the show yet, you can check out previous episodes on the official podcast site, whilst we’ll be featuring each and every new episode as it premieres.

For those unfamiliar with the series, The Filmmakers Podcast is a podcast about how to make films from micro-budget indie films to bigger-budget studio films and everything in between. Our hosts Giles Alderson, Dom Lenoir, Dan Richardson, Andrew Rodger and Cristian James talk about how to get films made, how to actually make them and how to try not to f… it up in their very humble opinion. Guests will come on and chat about their filmmaking experiences from directors, writers, producers and screenwriters, to actors, cinematographers and distributors.

On this weeks The Filmmakers Podcast we chat with the team behind Protein, a brilliant indie made for pretty much nothing with a fabulous ensemble. Join host Giles Alderson as he chats with director and writer Tony Burke and actor and exec producer Craig Russell all about their experiences making their indie film. The talk, investment and dealing with rejection, why movies take years to get made and why you should not wait for the cavalry. You have to do it yourself! Protein is OUT now and still in select cinemas around the UK.
