Ep. 37 - Best Band in America
Episode 37 *Hi folks, welcome to Episode 37 of Make Your Film—I’m Denis O’Brien. At Make Your Film, we don’t claim to have all the answers, but we share knowledge to help you navigate the incredible—and sometimes daunting—task of putting a creative movie or series together.
Today’s episode is close to my heart: Best Band in America, my show. I pitch it, and everyone loves it. We’re going to towns and cities across America, finding the best undiscovered bands—where the lead guitarist might be a plumber, the drummer an architect, playing marvelous music on weekends. These are the stories America wants to hear, needs to hear. And here’s the thing—I’m like them. I had a day job in advertising, but my music dream never died. Best Band in America is my journey, and I’m taking you along for the ride.
We’re in production now, shooting March 26, with a $50K grand prize from Bakehouse Studios for the winning band. Check us out at BestBandAmerica.com, and follow along on YouTube (youtube.com/@BestBandinAmerica)—we’ve already got 1,500 views in 5 days!
The lesson today: keep going. Keep tuning up your ideas, polishing what you have, and then—bam—you’ll pitch, and things will change fast. That’s what happened to me, and it can happen to you. Tune in for more Make Your Film, and visit BestBandAmerica.com for updates! #producer #makeyourfilm*
