Episode 221: This episode was recorded October 4, 2026 and published October 6, 2026.

Hey friends! One of our favorite guests is back to share his professional experience on getting cast for projects.

Ant is getting callbacks and he’s open to sharing what he’s learned from the inside so that you can get auditions and callbacks if you’re looking to be cast in a commercial, or even a film.

I share my experience working with a film casting agent and director and we compare notes. This is a well rounded episode filled with good information for novice and even more experienced actors and models. Of course, it’s a bit entertaining and we share a bit about using your smartphone for those tapeless “Self Taping” videos in your process from submitting to getting booked.

Ant Pruitt is a model and commercial actor. He spent most of his professional life as an IT support member as well as a photographer covering local sports, events, and more. Today he is behind the camera only in his spare time, be it on the local sports sidelines or at his desk hosting his podcast about life as a creative and entertainer.

Ant has advocated for mobile photography and video capture for many years and has served as a judge for the IMFF.

Would you replace your most intimate partnership every time you make a new film? Probably not, right?

I share a message with you about how your smartphone camera is your partner in smartphone filmmaking. I refer to iPhones, because that is what I use, but this is true for all brands.

I also share an important message for directors and filmmakers about good communication skills.

This podcast is a personal investment for me. It has costs which I cannot continue to expense myself. If you appreciate my efforts to support our mobile film community, please share, subscribe and support with Patreon or BuyMeACoffee. Thank you, I appreciate you!

Episode 219: This episode was recorded September 3, 2026 and published September 8, 2026.

An entertaining and insightful conversation with filmmaker Justin Ho, the winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the International Mobile Film Festival last year with “Broken Pieces” who attended the festival in San Diego. His film was shot with his iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Due to us having watched The Odyssey by Chris Nolan, we kept referencing it.
