planetMitch and Barry Andersson just went to the best film school ever: they pooled their money and resources together, grabbed a couple of brand new Canon 5D Mark III's, lined up a stellar cast of actors and actresses, lined up a talented Director of Photography, assembled a top notch film production crew and sound man, and went out and actually shot a real movie with a plot. There's no better way to learn the art of filmmaking and story telling than actually getting out there and doing it.

Incident on Marmont Avenue, Barry's and planetMitch's low budget feature short, is loosely based on a true story that happened to Digital Convergence co-host Chris Fenwick (you can read about the actual event here on Chris' website). planetMitch talks about how he and Barry came up with the idea, how they were able to secure top talent to appear in their movie, why they told the story as they did, and why it was the best film school they could have ever gone to.
