Alex Ferrari is the founder of Indie Film Hustle, one of the most popular indie film podcasts and blogs around.
He's also got a streaming platform called Indie Film Hustle TV and a book called Shooting for the Mob about his insane early experiences in film.
Not to mention he's made two micro-budget films in the last 3 years, and both have been profitable.
So here's a rundown of the fun stuff we cover in this wide-ranging conversation.
- Alex's "stranger than fiction" true story of almost making a feature film for a mobster.
- How many filmmakers hold themselves back through limiting beliefs and stories, and how to get out of your own way.
- The various ways that filmmakers shoot themselves in
- How Alex made $90,000 selling a short film (yes, really).
- The improvisational techniques Alex used to make his first two feature films quickly and cheaply.
- What to look out for when you get offered a distribution deal so that you don't get taken advantage of.
- The one item to include in every distribution contract you sign.
- What Alex has learned from the entrepreneurial filmmaking guests on his podcast.
- And plenty more good stuff.
