FROM THE BLACK LIST TO FRIGHT FEST with Darren Geare

This week on the podcast I’m talking to writer, producer Darren Geare. Darren and his brother Jeff (also known as the Geare Brothers) wrote their first screenplay that went onto the Black List, ended up on the top list and got optioned into a feature film called The Retaliators.

The brothers worked on the film, helped it through the pandemic and its release. It then went onto a very successful festival run. I talked to Darren about what it was like writing the film, tips for writing, how it got onto the Black List, what it was like negotiating for the screenplay to be optioned, what it was like being on set in production, solving all those problems while the film was being made. We also talked about the festival run and being able to publicise a film that he’s really proud of, enjoy!
