Filmmaker Cary Patrick Martin is a truly independent artist, creating work he believes in and work that inspires him. This episode captures the long road of finding your medium, how to deal with the grind of making your work (even if that means holding down a day job) and loving what you do.

Cary's new short narrative film, Coffee and A Donut, is making its Queens debut at The Festival of Cinema NYC on Thursday August 8th at 8:15pm.
