The Story of Director Dave McLaughlin and Producer Lance Greene's indie film is increasingly what it is about when it comes to getting your film to screen, especially if you still keep hanging on to the idea of Multinational corporate filmmaking here in Hollywood.

Indiewire interviews the guys about the whole process.

How did the idea for "On Broadway" came about?

Dave McLaughlin: I started to write "On Broadway" as a direct response to my frustration as a screenwriter in LA. I had co-written the movie "Southie," and I was dissatisfied with the finished film, with my work on it and with my lack of a voice in the making of it. I wrote a whole bunch of unproduced stuff that couldn't seem to find a home with producers. And then I wrote a really strong spec script that immediately generated tons of meetings. It was powerful and I thought it was successful in being a very masculine movie without being macho. But all the development execs kept telling me that it was not something they could make - and I just thought, "this is bullshit." I just spent two years or more on this thing and nobody has anything invested except me and now I'm in a position where I'm dependent on some multi-national conglomerate to say yes or else this effort, this anguish, this emotion was all for naught. I don't want to be in this position ever again. I'm going to write something that's cheaper to film, where I can take the bull by the horns and raise the money myself.
