Summary
Jesse Malinowski sits down with actress, director, and Cosmic Film Co founder Amanda Fallon Smith — a former Miss Pennsylvania who told her entire family not to show up when she competed, then won with no one in the crowd, and later accidentally became a vertical film director when her hired director dropped out last minute on her very first project. Amanda breaks down the $27 billion vertical film industry, what it really takes to run a 7-day film bootcamp, why film acting is technically harder than theater, and how Bob Krakauer's class changed everything about how she directs on Get Scene Unscripted with Jesse Malinowski.Join Our Newsletter:https://getscenestudios.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=7660af20fdb3c04d6b6516591&id=eecb804958Join out Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/cw/GetScenePod
