Film Courage: Can you talk about developing ideas for your films?
Sophia Cacciola, Cinematographer, Actor, Musician, Director: I work with my partner Michael J. Epstein. Because we live together, we consume all the same media and often talk constantly about ideas and things.

Then usually he goes off and we’ll write an outline or a treatment or a script for it.

That’s kind of our process of going back and forth through the edits.
It’s not like he writes totally in isolation. We’ve talked about things mostly before he ever sits down. We’ll talk about where the story is going.

He’s like,
It’s not a movie yet…(Watch the video interview on YouTube here).
