Inspiration Waiting at the Bus Stop
Today, you'll be hearing from the independent film industry's favorite duo, The Duplass Brothers. Mark and Jay Duplass are known for their generosity, creativity, and transparency. Two undercover agents who successfully infiltrated a notoriously cutthroat and self-centered industry, Hollywood. Together, they broke into the business via a seven-minute short film they shot on their parents’ video camera, with a total production budget of $3 — the cost of the blank tape they purchased to shoot it. Erik, Mark, and Jay discuss allowing your work to speak for itself, embracing limits and constraints, inspiration waiting at the bus stop, the value of keeping a lot of irons in the fire and hiring for personality over experience. You may know Mark and Jay through their acting careers. The lists are long but Mark currently stars on Apple TV's The Morning Show as Charlie Black. And Jay, perhaps most famously, played Josh Pfefferman in the Emmy Award winning Amazon original series, Transparent. 5x #1 Bestselling Author and Motivational Speaker Erik Qualman has performed in over 55 countries and reached over 50 million people this past decade.
