One Good Take

Trailer to Episode 58 | Michael DiBasio Ornelas on making an indie feature in 8 days

Nicholas Penrake

Writer/Director Michael DiBasio Ornelas talks to me about his second feature film, Sleepless, an engaging, talkie movie about a couple of insomniacs who meet by chance inside a 24/7 store and then get to hang out one sleepless night walking through the streets of New York. 

As well as an in-depth look at the film, we also look at how he made the film, from picking a script to fit his budget to casting and distribution.
