Stories from the front-lines by indie filmmakers
Indie Film Survivors is a podcast that talks to the filmmakers behind many of the amazing films you’ve most likely never heard of.
These aren’t the big-budgeted films you’ll find in your local theaters. They are the gritty, low-budget gems that often the story of how they got made is as incredible as the movies themselves.
From an idea to the editing bay and everything in between. We learn how they handled each hurdle and every win.
We will also help educate other filmmakers to make their production process easier from pre-production to distribution. We’ve bruised ourselves up in that process so you don’t have to.
