In this 7-part series, acclaimed director Joe Carnahan (The Grey, Narc, Smokin' Aces, The A-Team) joins indi/cult-director Jack Perez (Some Guy Who Kills People, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, La Cucaracha, The Big Empty) for a super candid and sometimes shocking in-depth discussion on the enormous challenges and obstacles faced by filmmakers in Hollywood.
From navigating temperamental actors, interfering producers, and scumbag would-be financiers to raising indie-money and fighting to get your vision on screen, this series reveals what it takes to survive and succeed in the sometimes surreal and often infuriating movie business.


In part 4, Joe and Jack discuss the loss of creative control inherent in big budget filmmaking, how frustrating that can be, and the different ways directors can seize back creative control. They also compare scars suffered from dealing with shady would-be producers, financiers and flat-out crooks; and fantasize about the ideal single financier who fully-funds your movies and leaves you alone.
