John Yianni Stamas on Filmmaking Lessons

I was asked to write a brief piece for the new publication entitled “Artist Steps” regarding the filmmaking process for “Thrillumentary.” “Thrillumentary” is a web series we’ve been working on for the past year at Lights Camera Read. And although it has been successful as an educational tool, the worry is whether it will be successful as a piece of entertainment. Part of this fear comes out of the fact it is based on a one man show for theater, which means it is extremely dialogue based. Often works that are based on “mostly verbal” don’t do as well as those that are more visually oriented. If you are a member of the “NYC Make a Difference” newsletter from Entertainment Entrepreneurship, you are going to get to weigh in with your opinions through secret screenings of the series before it is released.
