Your Stage : "Making Movies is Hard" A Podcast For Independent Filmmakers by Timothy Plain

Myself and fellow filmmaker Alrik Bursell created a podcast called "Making Movies is Hard” we thought you might be interested in http://www.makingmoviesishard.com The idea is simple: each week talk honestly about the struggle of pursuing a career in film and share our experience and knowledge about independent filmmaking. The struggle is real. Between us, our movies have played at over 30 film festivals, received 100,000 views on-line, and my film “The Spirit Machine” was the most-funded short of all time on Kickstarter. But despite our success, we’re still struggling to turn our hobby into a full-time profession. Then we read that 12,000 films were submitted to Sundance this year, but less than 200 screened, and it dawned on us: there are a lot of other filmmakers out there, just like us, going through the same thing! So we started a podcast to share our experience and provide a community for the struggling independent filmmaker.
