How I won an Oscar with my Short Film with Chris Overton
In this episode we speak with Academy Award winning film director, Chris Overton. Chris received the 'Best Live Action Short Film' Oscar for ‘The Silent Child,’ along with his wife, Rachel Shenton, who wrote the project.
Chris shares how he started life in the industry as an actor, performing in films directed by Joel Schumacher and Roman Polanski, and the current projects he's working on. We discuss the road to the Oscars with 'The Silent Child,' as well as what happens after you win an Oscar! We also get into why he set up his production company Slick Films and how he distributes and makes money back on his shorts.
This was truly inspiring and we are so grateful to Chris for taking the time to speak with us.
Here are some links to his work:
