Episode 36: Ty Leisher
Podcast Art for Episode 36 Ty Leisher
I talk with Ty Leisher, co-founder of Exit 44 Entertainment.
This episode is all about what you do after you develop that amazing vision for a film. Ty is the co-founder of Exit 44 Entertainment, which specializes in mind bending horror and adrenaline pumping action films. We talk about what business has been like post writers' strike and the tentative actors' agreement; how he co-founded his company; how a filmmaker can get to jump out of the airplane again, so to speak; how much concessions one has to give to market forces; and how we can get more diverse voices in filmmaking, and his goal of helping 50 filmmakers sell their films by the end of next year.
This is like one of Ty's threads on X: extraordinarily insightful.
I felt lucky to hear Ty's thoughts on filmmaking and I think you will, too.
