EP338 | Studio vs. Indie Horror: The Secret to Keeping Creative Control (w/ Josh Ruben)
Ever wonder if making a successful indie film means Hollywood will come knocking? And if they do, how do you protect your vision when pitching to a studio—and keep it intact from set to edit?
Director Josh Ruben (Scare Me, Werewolves Within) returns to the show to talk about his first studio film, Heart Eyes—a bloody slasher-meets-romantic-comedy mashup with all the signature chaos of a Ruben film. Host Mike Pecci and Ruben dive deep into the process, from the high-stakes pitch to the pressures of post-production, revealing what it’s really like to direct your first big studio feature.
