In this episode, I talk about a recent one-word review of ‘Blurred Lines’ and revisit the wave of student ratings the film received when it was first released last year. I unpack what those responses say about perception, knowledge and understanding, the financial risk of independent filmmaking, and the culture of criticism in film education - and where standards and humility fit into all of it.

NOTE: This podcast reflects my personal experiences as an independent filmmaker and the views expressed are my own.
