It’s not the dream of every shorts filmmaker to turn their idea into a feature, but the chance to expand your film into something that could get real distribution is one worth striving for. Ken Merritt’s film Jesse’s Gift found the right audience and the right movers and shakers to help him achieve that dream, and the feature version is now in development. How did it all happen? How does it work developing music for a short and a feature? Find out all this and more in our episode with Ken, his musician brother Michael Merritt, feature co-writer John Mullins, and feature development producer Troy Bakewell!
PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Ken talks distribution plans for Jesse’s Gift in order to get it in front of the right people. Watch it and all our exclusive videos for as low as $1 a month!
