Listen "Wendy Corn"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know burial and cremation are both bad for the environment? That bartending may be the best training for documentary filmmaking? What about death haikus?I talk to Wendy Corn about her new film, Exit Strategy: From Scared to Sacred, which recently raised over $34,000 as part of a successful crowdfunding campaign on Seed & Spark. Wendy is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose films have been featured at SXSW and other festivals. She gives advice to filmmakers, talks about why Austin is a great home for indies, and shares the level of commitment -- and vulnerability -- it requires to embark on a crowdfunding campaign.Links mentioned in the conversation:https://www.austinfilm.org/sponsored/exit_strategy/https://seedandspark.com/fund/exit-strategy/Matthew Kochmann (wetranscend.com)Artist/Animator: Yuliya Lanina (yuliyalanina.com)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content
