There have always been difficult aspects of the industry but I try to focus on the best parts and today it feels like inclusion, local-language story telling, people can work from wherever and more content than ever getting made and distributed over more platforms than ever.

Joe Orlandino When it comes to filmmaking, I still feel desperately isolated, despite this global online community. The process of getting a film made seems more torturous, especially as my imagination outweighs my bank balance!

Geoff Hall ...Shake that feeling of isolation. Don't try to compete with the big boys...that is a different part of the business. It's all in the marketing there. And as an indie filmmaker, you simply do not have that kind of marketing budget or marketing muscle. That's not to say 'aim small' but try to align your stories with your budget - or the budget you're able to raise. I recommend checking out Jeff McIntyre's revenue analysis of 1600 indie films in 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdyJ1m47OUQ
Consider developing compelling stories that would translate to one location shoots. Stories with large and passionate audiences. Nurture relationships with people who want to see (and help) you succeed. Patrons of the arts - YOUR art.
Joe Orlandino I've just written a blog post with Phil Hardy about this.
BTW - I wasn't trying to compete with the big boys, I was just saying that this is a lonely planet, when you can't find people (patrons) to help get a film made. That's my problem.
These aspects can be viewed from different objective perspectives of each person. But looking at them, every problem has a good and a bad side, it's inevitable https://webecomewhatwebehold.online .
