What Everyone Making Movies In Hollywood Should Know — Jeremy Foley
Jeremy Foley, Filmmaker/Actor/Screenwriter: After we had made the short film people kept on watching it and saying this should actually be a television series.
Film Courage: It’s been what 11 years or so since you started on this filmmaking journey? Can you talk about the most amount of effort that you’ve put toward making a feature and what have been the biggest challenges for you and Sara [Sara O’Reilly]?
Jeremy: Yeah, I think it’s been 10–11 years since we’ve really been actively making stuff. The biggest effort we’ve put toward a feature…well I have two thoughts about that. The biggest effort we put toward the feature is a script that we had written two years ago that we called Fender Bender and it’s the road trip comedy, the kind of film that we love. We had produced a sizzle reel to give audiences or prospective investors, producers sort of a visual idea of what the film might be and I think we’d gotten that script into the hands of a lot of production companies (a lot of big production companies) and I’ve got to say all of them passed.
