Filmmaker Freedom

I can’t express how much I love this podcast. It covers so many important topics in such an approachable way. Give it a listen. It might just change the way you look at filmmaking.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since it first came out. Seasons 1 & 3 changed the way I view myself and my place in the filmmaking universe, changed for the better. Thoughtful and well organized if listened to each episode at least 3 times.

Rob’s show is one of a handful of select gems on the filmmaker podcast network. Such an invaluable resource for upcoming filmmakers trying to navigate the onslaught that is the current, democratized film market. Along with a few select others, I’ve been listening to his podcast for the last few years as I’ve produced and directed my first low budget feature. The amount of underground information I’ve learned from these gems is truly invaluable. His podcast and those like it are the answers to the sheer volume of misleading and unreputable information that the modern filmmaker has to sift through the find the core truths of how to producer a professional film on a low budget. Give it a listen and take notes.

The most difficult part of doing anything well is mastering your psychology. Its not about gear or gimmicks. Its about knowing why you do what you do and what you need to succeed. Learning to know and serve your audience and create films that really matter. If you’re a filmmaker (or any creative person, really) interested in those kinds of things this is the podcast for you.
