From Script to Screen: A Conversation with Indie Filmmaker, Greg Pellerito

What does it really take to make an independent film? This week on The Reel Obsessed Podcast, we're joined by filmmaker Greg Pellerito, writer and director of the coming-of-age indie film Moments of Youth. Greg takes us behind the scenes of making an independent feature film—from developing the script to bringing a heartfelt vision to the screen. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a fan of independent cinema, or simply love learning how movies are made, this conversation offers an inside look at the passion, creativity, and perseverance required to bring a film to life. Moments of Youth is about a group of high school friends on the night before graduation as they compete in a wild, tradition-filled scavenger hunt. From flying on private jets to reenacting movie scenes, the hunt becomes a transformative journey filled with comedy, adventure, and heartfelt revelations. Beneath the fun lies a deeper story of resilience as they confront a shared tragedy and discover profound truths about life, friendship, and the future. 📺 Watch Moments of Youth [https://www.instagram.com/momentsofyouth_movie/]on Amazon and Tubi.
