Getting funding for your indie feature film…. the monumental task continues. While we all dream of a phone call from the big studios, you’ll probably have to find investors elsewhere. And sometimes magic strikes. We’re sitting down with Writer / Producer Hudson Phillips, who has two features under his belt. We will discuss how he obtained the money, managed those funds, and what he learned from his two projects that we can put to our own uses.
Hudson Phillips is a writer, producer, and founder of Mirror Box Films. He grew up in small-town South Georgia (thick accent and all) until his father relocated the family to Haiti to work as a pharmacist in remote mountain communities. After his dad unexpectedly passed away, Hudson returned to Atlanta (thankfully losing the accent) and fell in love with genre storytelling as a way to process his grief.
His first feature, the post-apocalyptic This World Alone, was released on Hulu, won Best Feature at six festivals and Best Screenplay at two, and earned a positive review in The New York Times. His second, the sci-fi romance Guacamole Yesterdays, is now available on major platforms following a nationwide 13-city theatrical tour and an award-winning 11-stop festival run.
Hudson has worked as a writer-for-hire and had an original spec optioned by Lions Gate Films. He’s also the author of Writing Unforgettable Characters and has taught screenwriting and indie film production at workshops and college campuses.
A former single dad to a now college-bound son, Hudson lives outside Atlanta with his wife, two rescue hounds, and a shit-ton of books.
