BLOW THE MAN DOWN Writers/Directors Bridget Savage Cole & Danielle Krudy

The Script Lab Podcast

Guest: Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy wrote and directed the Amazon film Blow the Man Down. The film is about two sisters living on the Eastern seaboard who attempt to cover up a gruesome run-in with a dangerous man. To conceal their crime, the sisters must go deep into the criminal underbelly of their hometown, uncovering the town's darkest secrets.

Despite the serious nature of this murder-mystery, Bridget and Krudy (as Bridget calls Danielle) are a couple of firecrackers and love to joke around. We talk about the long process of writing this script, how they trimmed it to save money during production and how finding someone to be executive producer could be the key to getting your independent film made.

The movie has a great cast that includes Morgan Saylor and Sophie Lowe as the sisters, and June Squib and Margo Martindale as the town matriarchs.

Look for Blow the Man Down on Amazon Prime on March 20.
