This week on the podcast I talk to Writer/Director James Couche. James made a bunch of short action films before moving on to his debut feature film Lost Phoenix. It was shot during the Covid Pandemic with a very small crew, small budget, it's an action martial arts movie.

I talked to James about the challenges of shooting an action film on a micro budget, we talked about how difficult it was shooting during Covid, the advantages and disadvantages of that. We talked about the challenges of promoting your own film, James is with Indie Rights so we talked about his decision to go with them. And of course we talked about some classic action movies and what's influenced his movie. Enjoy!

Check out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon
