After 20+ years of making micro-budget films, I’ve made more than my share of mistakes. In this episode, I break down 16 of the biggest ones indie filmmakers make, covering everything from script to sales so you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did.
From budgeting and promotion to sound, script, and festivals, I’ll walk you through what I learned the hard way and how you can avoid these pitfalls in your own projects.
Check out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon
