    Ep. 83: Does It Matter How Differently You Communicate to Unpaid Interns or PAs, Contractors, and Employees (Actually)?

    Talking to people differently isn't just a matter of how kind or respectful you are (because we all know we should be kind and respectful to people). But is there a difference in how you talk to different people? ...Should there be? Join Koura as she breaks down how she gives feedback to an unpaid intern vs a contractor vs an employee (and how you should expect people to be talking to you when you're doing a project for free so you can get experience or when you're working as a contractor or employee).

    Ep. 82: How Do You Style Your Characters, Actually?

    When styling a character, what are the things you should keep in mind? What makes someone look "real" or "relatable" in a movie? Inspired by a streaming glitch when two Twilight movies auto-played out of sequence, and noticing the stark differences between how Bella is presented by different directors, join Koura as she breaks down some of the key things to keep in mind when deciding how you're going to style the characters for your film!

    Ep. 81: How Much Should You Charge (Actually)?

    How much should you charge for your services, actually? There's a lot of different types of advice out there, including the very socially toxic "charge as much as you can get paid" (and it might be a controversial thing to say that type of pricing is toxic, but we stand by that it is totally toxic). Check out this episode where Koura dives in and goes over where you start when figuring out what to charge, what to discount, and where to actually draw the line?

    Ep. 80: What Is Important To Keep In Mind When Writing a Short Vs Writing a Feature, Actually??

    Is there any difference between writing a short vs a feature (aside from the obvious page count)? Yes, yes there is! Join Koura as she breaks down some of the key things to keep in mind when developing a short film as compared to developing a feature, with a focus on how to make a short film a strong story which stands alone as its own film!

    Ep 79: How Should Investors Make Decisions, Actually??

    After pitching and working on funding films for years, Koura reflects on what she's seen as far as how investors start the investment conversations and the questions they ask and yardsticks they use to measure a project. What questions are they asking? More importantly, what questions should they actually be asking? And to extrapolate from there, what questions should you be prepared to answer as a filmmaker when pitching your scripts for funding? Join Koura in this episode where she shares the information needed to actually tell if a film is going to be a good project to fund (spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with if the filmmaker has random access to money already)...!

    Ep. 77: What If Business Founders Were Talked To Like Filmmakers, Actually??

    Some of the things Koura has heard as an independent filmmaker has broken her brain.
