A Passion for Filmmaking with Angelo Thomas
Manage episode 394194050 series 3450747
Today I’m speaking with Angelo Thomas, a filmmaker from Columbus with two features under his belt as well a number of shorts. Angelo made his first feature while in film school, The Incredible Jake Parker, about a male pop star struggling with anorexia, and followed that up with DeRosa: Love, Life, & Art in Transition, a documentary chronicling the life and struggles of a transgender artist and her wife. Angelo talks openly and insightfully about his experiences distributing both of these films, sharing lessons learned along the way. In our conversation we touch on a number of themes, not least of which is a frank discussion of filmmakers walking that delicate line between finding their creative voice and deriving income from their films. Angelo’s openness, passion, and humility really shine through in this interview.
