As part of my research i actually emailed the director of my choosen film Luke Snellin.
Here are the questions that i asked him:
1. What inspired you to create Mixtape?
2. How long did the whole film take to complete?
3. If you don’t mind answering how much did the whole production cost?
4. Where did you get funding from to make Mixtape?
5. How did you feel when you were nominated for a BAFTA?
Here are Luke’s replies:
1. Mixtape was inspired by my childhood musical tastes which stemmed from my Dad’s record collection (mainly rooted in 70′s rock music). It was also greatly inspired by my cinematic tastes and influences including Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson.
2. The film took a day to write, a day to shoot and about a week to finish.
3. The budget on the production was around £3,000.
4. I got the funding from a commercial competition I had won which had a cash prize and I also had help from the production company, Luti Media.
5. It felt incredible!
