Get ready for our first interview! Filmmakers Mitch Yapko and Allen Rueckert, who wear many hats, join us for a look into their creative process. Both Mitch and Allen are relentless idea machines, constantly coming up with great concepts in very diverse genres. Although we’ve known them for a long time, we’ve never directly asked them…. Where do you get your ideas from??? Join us as we delve into the topic with two of our favorite cohorts.Mitch Yapko - Director/Writer/ProducerMitch Yapko is an award-winning director/writer/producer known for his unique character work, focusing often on real characters in surreal situations. His films have shown in over 150 film festivals over the years, including the Sundance Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, USA Film Festival, Dances with Films, Newport Beach, LA Shorts and many others.Mitch has spent over 15 years directing shorts and pilots, sketch comedies and web series. With a background in theater performance, he has the unique ability to connect with his actors to bring out the best performances every time.When he's not directing narrative content, Mitch produces commercials and photo shoots for brands such as Adidas, Nike, Jack Daniels, XBOX, Footlocker, Taco Bell, Converse, and more.Allen Rueckert - Writer/Actor/Director/EditorAllen Rueckert (pronounced RICK-ERT) has been called charming in that quirky Minnesota way. He is an award-winning actor/writer and has been in several shows and movies. He has written, directed, and starred in several of his own film projects and many with his writing/directing/production partner, Mitch Yapko ("Nosferajew", "Making a Milk Spiller", "On Site"). They have that same weird and dark sense of humor. You may have also seen him co-starring with Eddie Murphy and Bob Odenkirk in Netflix's "Dolemite is My Name," or seen his recurring role on HBO's "Veep" or FOX's "911: Lone Star"... and if you haven't, maybe you've just seen him on the street.  Allen Rueckert is an award-winning writer for the feature horror/comedy "3 to Die" and for the drama "All this Wind Shakes No Corn", which was also co-written with Mitch Yapko. Even when Allen writes dramas, he loves adding comedy into a scene when it fits. "We all experience some comedy in every situation whether we want to or not." WANT TO SUPPORT THE SHOW?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME! Subscribe to this channel on Youtube: https://goo.gl/qjbptEAvailable to wherever you get your podcasts!Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-making-a-movie/id1799476284Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1lKYtG3GiIouwXEcCz9UvK?si=dd999e0f669b4307Amazon/ Audible - https://amzn.to/4koHAX9Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/were-making-a-movie/PC:1001099016SOCIAL MEDIA REQUIREMENTS TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natalieandtaraInstagram https://www.instagram.com/natalieandtara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NatalieandTaraTwitter: https://twitter.com/NatalieNTara Wanna reach us?
