A show truly hoping to discover indie filmmaking

Jeff is a great interview with a seemingly nonstop line of interviews in store for you revolving around people who love filmmaking so much they can’t help but be a part of it. Each one is inspiring in their own way and Jeff really knows how to get into the good stuff when it come to talking about what motivates them to do what they do.

If you’re a filmmaking hopeful or just a fan of the artform, this show will be right up your alley.
