Dan Mirvish: Indie Filmmaker, Entrepreneur and Alligator Hunter
Description
Yes, you read that right. Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, does it all. And his amazing new film, 18 1/2, comes out on DVD this month (see links below ... we have all the links).
There is quite literally something for everyone in the episode, from practical advice on film school, turning your art into a business, scones ... and alligators. But most importantly, Dan is possibly the coolest dude we've ever met and we learned so much.
Get those earbuds in!
