RBTV met up with award-winning writer/director PETE CHATMON in New York to discuss his company Double 7 Film.  His NYU thesis, 3D starred Kerry Washington and Dorian Missick and was accepted into the 2001 Sundance Film Festival.  Five years later his feature debut PREMIUM was released through Codeblack Entertainment.  In this exclusive clip, he reveals his overall vision to help shepherd in the next wave of film entertainment.  Having made and successfully found distribution for Premium, we asked if it is really necessary to spend upwards of $50K on film school when the cost of making a film is so much cheaper with the advent of digital technology.   While Mr. Chatmon touts the merits of going to film school,  he feels networking is very important.  To that end, Double 7 helps  train, educate and build networks of artists through regular podcasts The Double Down Film Show)  and monthly screenings of short films (Short Shorts).
