🎬 Clone Cops: The Origins of Clone Cops 🎬

🔍 Episode Summary:

In this inaugural episode of the Clone Cops Podcast, filmmakers Philip Cordell (Co-writer/Actor), Danny Dones (Co-writer/Director), Charles Royce (VFX Supervisor/Producer), and Corey Allen (Cinematographer) take you back to the very beginning—how Clone Cops was born.

The team dives into:

• The early brainstorming sessions and how a casual pitch about “Clone Cops” turned into a full-fledged feature film.

• The influence of classic sci-fi and action movies like Robocop, Multiplicity, and Idiocracy on the film’s concept and tone.

• How they navigated budget constraints, pivoting from their original vision to a more achievable (yet still ambitious) indie production.

• The importance of a strong title in marketing, and how Clone Cops immediately resonated with audiences.

• The screenwriting process, including early script drafts, table reads, and hiring professionals for script coverage.

• The personal influences each creator brought to the project, from cinematography choices to VFX branding to character development.

• The challenges of indie filmmaking, including skepticism about whether the movie would ever get made—and the mindset that pushed them forward.

🎤 Notable Quotes:

“We knew we had to make a feature. That was the next step.” – Philip Cordell

“Every movie is a miracle. It’s crazy that 40-50 people can come together to make this happen.” – Philip Cordell

“We wanted to make a movie that we loved, not just something that would impress people.” – Danny Dones

“The cavalry isn’t coming. No one’s going to hand you your filmmaking career—you have to go out and make it happen.” – Danny Dones

📌 Key Takeaways for Filmmakers:

✅ Why micro-budget movies are a great starting point for indie filmmakers

✅ The power of a great title in generating excitement and audience curiosity

✅ How a table read can expose strengths and weaknesses in a script

✅ The reality of script coverage—and why it’s a worthwhile investment

✅ How visual and storytelling elements evolve from draft to final product

✅ The importance of persistence and self-belief in indie filmmaking
