This episode of the Creative Bedrock Podcast touches on the world of algorithms and how it has impacted us as consumers and content creators.

Algorithms can offer us a wider audience reach, but at what cost?  This raises a particular challenge for indie filmmakers, who are faced with a new era of digital distribution.  YouTube and social media-based content creators have quickly evolved in this strictly online environment, but how does a longform filmmaker approach this new frontier?  Do alternatives exist to better preserve creative control?

Tune in this week’s episode to hear Tim’s thoughts.

Welcome to the first episode of the Creative Bedrock Podcast. Tim, a Southern California filmmaker with eight years of industry experience, introduces this digital diary, with the goal of documenting his journey in carving out an independent path in the evolving film landscape.

Disenchanted with Hollywood’s traditional infrastructure, and observing the cultural and technological challenges that face the entertainment industry today, Tim aims to explore innovative approaches to filmmaking, emphasizing independence, skill-building, and storytelling that diverges from mainstream trends.

Through this weekly podcast, he plans to share his observations, experiences, successes, and failures, offering his (hopefully) valuable insights for other aspiring filmmakers with their ears to the ground.

Let’s see what happens!
