Go and listen to THE CORONER'S ASSISTANT, a new show on Tubi by filmmaker Angeline Walsh, and I'll bet you have the theme music caught in your head for the rest of the day (week, month, etc.) Kudos to Angeline for putting music first.
The episodic model might look scary, but my guest is here to convince you otherwise -- for her, it was a way to follow her heart.
In this episode, we discuss:
the ridiculously catchy theme music and how she decided to start with that instead of leaving it to the end;how she got into filmmaking;she calls her filmmaking "weird and too dark for children" -- where did that come from? it's more lighthearted than you may think;what they should expect to see from THE CORONER'S ASSISTANT;isn't that the point of good filmmaking, to subvert expectations?why episodic content on Tubi versus a short or a feature?the metrics available on Tubi?what advice would she give about the process of putting a show on Tubi?how to monetize episodic or short films -- "I'm not being hired to do this, so I might as well just make it the way I want to because I'm not beholden to anyone's rules right now";will there be a season two?what other projects is she working on?Angeline's Indie Film Highlights: Valyo Gennoff, composer of the catchy music for THE CORONER'S ASSISTANT; Mabel Normand; Marion Davies (Angeline later mentioned she meant Frances Marion)
