tv, film, society, culture, documentary · EN

Working Title: From Paper to Screen follows writer, producer, actor, and director Mark Elias as he documents the real, unglamorous, and occasionally exhilarating journey of making an independent film. Each season tracks a single project from first draft to final release—covering fundraising, casting, production, post, and everything that can derail it. Season One follows We Could Be Heroes, offering an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to get a movie made today. No hype. No shortcuts. Just the work, the setbacks, and the small wins that bring a script to life. If you’ve ever wondered how films really get made—this is it, in real time. From Paper to Screen with Mark Elias is a Merrick Studios podcast.
