Films Not Made unearths both Hollywood and indie film projects too wild, weird, or ambitious to ever hit the big screen. Hosts Avi Zev Weider and Amy Hobby invite writers, directors, and producers to join them in ripping open old wounds by pulling out abandoned scripts, impossible casting lists, and brutal rejection letters. Honest conversations with creators and AI resurrections of the movies that got away.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/films-not-made-7685317"},"episode":{"title":"Stamp & Deliver with Dan MIrvish","slug":"stamp-deliver-with-dan-mirvish","published_at":"2026-05-12T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/films-not-made-7685317/stamp-deliver-with-dan-mirvish","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/films-not-made-7685317","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/83a1fc1736161538d8c24142346828e8bb43c41502ce980c98c7002bab9f1364/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJhMTE3YzIxOS02MmJjLTQ0MDQtOWVkMy1mYTQ0NzJmNjEyYjYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmODFhYTVjOC0wZjllLTQwNGItYWVkYy1iZDkwM2Q3NzhmZWUiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NjllNzc0NzViOTljZTdjMTUwMTU4ZjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlmZmIwNjAwNzk1N2VhYzRhMTJkYzRjL2F2aS13ZWlkZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTUtMTBfXzAtOC0zMi5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/83a1fc1736161538d8c24142346828e8bb43c41502ce980c98c7002bab9f1364/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJhMTE3YzIxOS02MmJjLTQ0MDQtOWVkMy1mYTQ0NzJmNjEyYjYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJmODFhYTVjOC0wZjllLTQwNGItYWVkYy1iZDkwM2Q3NzhmZWUiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NjllNzc0NzViOTljZTdjMTUwMTU4ZjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlmZmIwNjAwNzk1N2VhYzRhMTJkYzRjL2F2aS13ZWlkZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTUtMTBfXzAtOC0zMi5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, comes on to talk about the unmade film that haunted him for years. Stamp & Deliver was a darkly comic postal western — think No Country for Old Men meets Office Space — and it got closer than most. Sets were built in Austin. Brittany Murphy auditioned. Ed Asner and Peter Fonda were in. Neil Young was going to produce and score it. Then 9/11 happened. We go through the whole story, run the original script through our AI pipeline, and give Stamp & Deliver the trailer it never got and still deserves. Our film executive Meredith also stops by with notes — and sounds exactly like every development meeting you've ever sat through. If you love indie film, hollywood stories, development hell, and the ones that got away — this one's for you. https://linktr.ee/atomicfondue https://substack.com/@danmirvish https://www.danmirvish.com/Stamp-Deliver next film, Atomic Fondue (still raising money!) https://www.danmirvish.com/Atomic-Fondue \" Go to https://filmsnotmade.com/ for info on the show, transcripts and more.
