Between juggling schedules, wine recs, and building the community in Watch Me Make a Movie, this episode captures the real texture of being in the trenches of indie filmmaking.&& we even get into AI.

Welcome to Day 3 of our five-day drop: BRINGING OUR INDIE FILM TO LIFEHere’s the truth: filmmaking in a silo will burn you out.

We’re not here to play it safe.In Episode 2 of 5 DAYS OF BRINGING OUR FEATURE FILM TO LIFE, we spill why we scrapped the whole “proof of concept” route and dove headfirst into making a full feature. It’s risky, it’s bold, and if we're being totally real, it's the only move that made sense for us.We also pull back the curtain on our Sundance experience—the panels, the energy, the behind-the-scenes buzz that reminded us why we’re doing this in the first place. Spoiler: it’s not about chasing
