"Meta Take One" Brings Guerrilla Filmmaking to the Forefront (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Filmmaker John Dierre “grew up” during the production of his debut feature, “Meta Take One” — five years that put his perseverance to the test.“It’s crazy,” Dierre said. “Perseverance is key. There [were] multiple moments I wanted to give up. I couldn’t give up.”Dierre and co-creator Ryan Dutter began developing the film in 2019, when Dierre was 25.
