Do you want to know what it takes to make your first feature film and get it released? Well I spoke to Mitchell Holliday and he's done just that with his debut film Murder Ballads: How to Make it in Rock 'n' Roll starring Simon Callow.  We talked about how he put the film together, how he convinced award winning actor Simon Callow to appear in the film and how he handled the sales and distribution process. He also told me about the advantages of having someone look after PR.
