3 Time Comedy Film Director Rick Altizer [EP. 238]

Have you ever wondered what it takes to produce a movie, write a jingle, or land Bob Dylan's manager? Well, today you are in luck! I have a pod-swap interview with Rick Altizer. Not only is Rick an incredibly good friend, but we also share an office! Over the years I've learned a lot about his character, his dedication to his work, and his incredible focus. I thought you would find his story interesting and inspirational. Join me as I sit down and talk with Rick Altizer about what he has learned from his years in show business. Specifically, we talk about his run as a film director of such movies as Russ Taff - I Still Believe, and three projects with Chonda Pierce - "Enough", "Laughing In The Dark" and "Unashamed". Currently, Rick is working on a movie for the Kendrick Brothers (War Room, Courageous, Fire Proof) titled "Show Me the Father". In the discussion, we talk about the gravity of story in films that can also be applied to your stand-up. We also dig into the nuts and bolts of organizing hours of material into a tangible product. Film Maker Rick Altizer Show Notes: Rick's early years as a rock-n-roller How Bob Dylan's manager took him on Why he didn't get a deal with Sony The healthy lesson of finding your identity Finding a business partner to complement his creativity His work with Chonda Pierce How a plan for a 5-minute demo turned into a documentary Learning how to edit a movie The burden of expectation Looking at disappointments objectively And a whole lot more!
