In Part 2 of this Filmmakers Notebook Q&A Buzz McLaughlin from Either/Or Films, letting us in on the 411 about what it’s really like to be an Executive Producer.

Part 2 of the Filmmakers Notebook Q&A with the talented and insightful filmmaker, Angelo Bell. As I mentioned before, it is not only Angelo's creativity and abilities that made me want to find out more about him and his work, but his willingness to share his knowledge with others, so here he is once again offering valuable information I think you'll enjoy reading.

The first time I heard of Angelo Bell was on Twitter. I read a couple of his tweets about writing screenplays and wanted to know more. Here was a filmmaker with wit and wisdom who was willing to share both with friends and strangers alike via social media. Very quickly, I realized how much this man understands the delicate balance between business and artistry when it comes to making movies. So, it is with great pleasure that I bring you Part 1 of this Filmmakers Q&A with Angelo.

Part 3 and the final installment of the Filmmakers Notebook Q&A with Canadian Filmmaker Heath Tait, who has produced the award winning documentary "Vancouver Vagabond".

As I mentioned earlier, last June I had the pleasure of meeting Canadian Filmmaker Heath Tait at the Las Vegas Film Festival, when he came to accept an award for his autobiographical documentary "Vancouver Vagabond". He impressed me then as a passionate, opinionated individual, who like many had struggled a great deal while trying to become recognized as an indendent artist while producing this project and an earlier one called "Pictorial Forest" that took years to finish. Hope you enjoyed the first part of this Filmmakers Notebook Q&A with Heath and now on to Part 2.
