For the final episode of our first season, we're turning the mic around and interviewing co-producer and editor, Ali Cotterill. A filmmaker and editor, Ali has cultivated and participated in a number of networks of peers in order to get a better sense of what gigs to take, how to get them, and what they should pay—information that can feel impossible to access in many areas of the arts. She also helped give Alexis a fair amount of perspective when they were both work on their first feature-length films around the same time.In this episode we'll dig into Ali's path into film, which started in no small part because of her early start as a drag king, and we'll also get into the realities of documentary film budgets, beyond the smoke and mirrors so many independent filmmakers are presented with when trying to enter a field that can feel completely financially inaccessible.Our interview was recorded in September 2020.

Picture Lock PR After Show: Ali Cotterill of North Pole, NY

  Happy Friday folks! As of today, Picture Lock is now a 30 minute episode. So I’ve got two amazing filmmakers on the show today. First I talk with the director of North Pole, NY Ali Cotterill. We talk about her film which focuses on Santa’s Workshop, one of the first theme parks in the U.S. battling a changing economy and digital world. I also talk with Amy Adrion, director/producer of Half The Picture. The documentary is about the dismal number of women directors working in Hollywood, but covers successful women directors, their career paths, struggles, inspirations and hopes for the future. But first, in celebration of Ali’s film, I have my review of Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles. Definitely a winner to watch with the family this season. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the listen!Check out North Pole, NY here: https://www.northpolenyfilm.com/Get Half The Picture here: https://www.halfthepicture.com/Picture Lock Links:Take my PR For The Indie Filmmaker online course here: https://indiefilmpr.thinkific.com/Get a partner as passionate as you in your film or film event's publicity: www.picturelockpr.comSubscribe to this podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kevin-sampsons-picture-lock/id639359584?mt=2Be sure to visit www.picturelockshow.com for everything Picture Lock!
