Around The Reel

**Bonus Episode!** Today's conversation is a touchy one. Our goal as filmmakers is to do our best to bring everyone together in our filmmaking community. A difficult task... but striving for the impossible is what we do as creatives. On today's show we share our opinion on a recent subject that has been "Infecting" the filmmaking community and dividing our colleagues. "Producer Credits In Films!" A lot of indie filmmakers need funding for their projects. They raise these funds in different ways but one of the most popular is crowdfunding. Lately we've witnessed push back on those offering "Producer Credits" in their films via contributions. Is it criminal? Does it lack integrity? Does it devalue working Producers? We share our opinion and also touch on a certain someone who we believe isn't going about spreading their insight in the proper manner. Yes, this show may make waves however we believe it's important to share. Ladies and gentleman... Welcome to Around The Reel!

Today we had the pleasure to speak with filmmaker Coral Untalan. Now Coral has been a filmmaker that has done everything she was supposed to do to prepare herself for this industry; having a degree in filmmaking, studying writing, figuring out how to pay off student loans and still having a life to enjoy. We ran across a post she made about possibly getting out of the business. Her post, "How do you know it's time to give up on your dreams?" Well, we didn't like that. So on this episode we get to learn how great Coral is, how much talent she has, her gift in writing and how she has the support from family that we would all be blessed to have. Join us for this emotional, real and inspirational conversation that is the essence of what we all feel as artists working toward reaching our dreams. Ladies and gentleman enjoy, the lovely, Coral Untalan!
