On this episode of Extraordinary life Stories, I’m talking to Mark Forstater
Mark is best known as an author and film producer, most notably the cult classic ‘Monty Python and The Holy Grail’, which has achieved huge global popularity - as well as plenty of controversy.
‘There has never been a sillier musical than this, or one more calculated to appeal to the British sense of humour,” wrote Telegraph critic Charles Spencer, at the UK premiere
I’m interested to know Mark’s thoughts on even trying to go about making a comedy film nowadays without offending someone! It must be impossible! 🤷🏼‍♂️
Mark has tremendous energy and drive at the ripe young age of 80! I want to know what Mark does to keep so sharp mentally and physically fit!
I’m fascinated by innovation and entrepreneurial disruption so it’s been really interesting learning about Mark’s new venture Dreambird Digital
Dreambird is a new platform that demolishes the traditional and archaic walls around the film-making industry, bringing film-makers and their fan communities together. Creating a new ecosystem for production, funding and distribution that allows fans, investors and creatives to connect, interact and stream.
In return film-makers will be more fairly rewarded, getting a majority of the profit back. Plus, the people that backed them will be rewarded for their support and belief. Power will be handed back to the creative talent and production teams, revitalizing the independent film sector and inspiring a new generation of talent 👏🏼💥
I love the fact that with Dreambird Digital people will ultimately influence the films THEY want to be made - and to watch.
