Episode Synopsis

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 episode, I break down how you can shatter the “small indie film” mold and make something truly ambitious without losing control of your costs.Let’s redefine what’s possible for indie filmmakers.
