Listen "The DIY Career Launch"
Episode Synopsis
Making your own work has been at the core of the strategic playbook for breaking in to film and tv for 25 years. Hollywood loves to embrace and amplify the story of the little gal or guy who made their short film for $500 bucks and landed the major studio deal. But with the ubiquity of film festivals and prohibitive costs to make high quality content, is the DIY career launch still a winning strategy? In this episode, Nick and Steve examine whether you should cash in your favors and piggy banks to make a short/web series, or write a whole new playbook for gaining viral attention and popularity in today's saturated market. As always, Nick and Steve will offer two different perspectives on the DIY question that you can use to help you move your projects forward in the screenwriting market. Whether you're Sundance or bust, or keen on finding brand new avenues to get your work seen, the Beyond The Script team will give you fresh ideas to bring to your process.
