Mike and cohosts - Presley Richardson and Kennedy Celeste welcome
Award-winning filmmaker Blake Calhoun
to ConversationsRadio Ep.211!
​
We were thrilled to welcome to Director & Producer Blake Calhoun to ConversationsRadio to chat about his indie film 'Casey Makes a Mixtape' - a nostalgic coming-of-age feature set in 1980s Texas, before MP3s when cassette tapeswere the norm and you had to record your own mix of your favorite music.
Blake Calhoun is a Texas-based filmmaker with a track record of creating bold, independent work. He has produced and directed feature films and digital series, including the award-winning shows Pink and Continuum.
Filmed entirely in Texas, 'Casey Makes a Mixtape' described as a love letter to small-town summers, mixtapes, and messy growing pains is getting fantastic reviews. It shows the power of indie film and the amazing cast does a fantastic job bringing this story to life. ​​
His work spans both indie and studio collaborations: he directed and produced Exposed for Warner Bros. Television alongside executive producer McG, and partnered with New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine, as well as Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry, and also Legendary Entertainment to bring the popular young adult series Morganville to life. With a passion for innovative storytelling, Blake continues to push the boundaries of independent filmmaking.
