PODCAST: How To Reverse Engineer Your Indie Feature With “Around The Sun” Writer/Producer Jonathan Kiefer

In this episode I’m joined by writer and producer Jonathan Kiefer, whose feature film Around The Sun premiered last month on Kanopy, and is now widely available on digital platforms everywhere.

Around The Sun is an amazing example of what’s possible when you use available resources to reverse engineer a film concept. In Jonathan’s case, he had access to an incredible French Chateau with a unique historical significance to the scientific community. This location served as the launching pad for an amazing story that ultimately attracted actors Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey), and Gethin Anthony (Game Of Thrones, Kodachrome, First Kill) to the project. Throughout the interview we delve into Jonathan’s process at length – from the development of the story to producing the film overseas, the release/distribution strategy, and much more.
