Darren Coyle's THE REAL STUFF PODCAST Interviews The Table Director Ana Barredo

My guest this episode is Ana Barredo.

Ana is a self-made filmmaker.  She didn’t study film in college – when
she wanted to make a film she took a 6-week crash course, and then
learned on the job.  By job, I mean her own feature.  With her own
money.  And then when she wanted to make another one, she taught
herself editing and put it together that way.  In short, she’s been
making it up as she goes along.  And it’s worked out fine so far.

Most recently, she’s directed a documentary feature called “The
Table.”  It’s a movie about people who make movies.  It’s the other
side of Hollywood – a group of filmmakers called the Table who meet
every Thursday for support, networking and pie.  This group is filled
with self-starters so Ana felt right at home.  It’s hitting the
festival circuit now and “getting traction,” as Ana puts it.  But at
the end of the day, she says you need to be having fun.  If you’re not
having fun then what’s the point?
