Sean Baker’s impassioned speech at the 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards (watch it here: https://youtu.be/yIxtMGRlx0k?si=0_QCG3cLpvqFDWKd) resonated deeply with me. Like him, I’m an indie film lifer—and that’s okay. We get to define success on our terms, and we must demand what we’re worth. The money is out there, and while we’re not asking for a fortune, we won’t accept pennies either. Indie filmmakers create jobs, revenue, and art that matters. It’s time we shape the industry rather than let it

Gene Wolfe once said, “You never learn how to write a novel. You just learn how to write the novel that you're writing.” And the more I create, the more I realize how true this is—not just for writing, but for filmmaking, painting, music, and every other art form.Each project is its own unique puzzle, demanding fresh solutions. You never fully “arrive” as an artist; instead, you become an expert at navigating the unknown over and over again.In this episode, I dive into why embracing the

Ditch KPIs—Real Impact Can’t Be Measured

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360... ·

2025/02/25

We’ve been conditioned to think that if we can’t measure it, it doesn’t matter. But what if the opposite is true? What if the most meaningful things—art, kindness, justice, human connection—can never be captured in numbers?In this episode, I argue that we need to do away with KPIs entirely because they’ll never truly measure real impact. I reference Loretta Ross and her work on “calling in”, share my own experiences—like a book I discussed in my monthly book club

Indie filmmakers are always told to keep it small—one location, minimal cast, limited scope. But what if you flipped that thinking on its head? Instead of shrinking your vision, expand it. More locations. A bigger cast. A film that feels massive without breaking the bank.The truth is, playing big doesn’t have to mean spending big. Strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and leveraging resources differently can give your indie film the scope of a blockbuster without the budget of one. In this

Many artists feel trapped by traditional industry models—musicians relying on streaming, painters chasing galleries, filmmakers hoping for big studio deals. But what if you changed the game? Greg Holden’s post about ditching Spotify for physical album sales is just one example of how artists can take control.

Imagine how much kinder and more united we’d be if every American traveled to all 50 states. In this episode, I share my thoughts on why a nationwide program to fund state-by-state travel for students—from elementary to high school—could transform how we see each other. Similar to how global travel broadens perspectives and fosters understanding of different cultures, exploring our own country could bridge divides, break stereotypes, and build empathy.
