Welcome to the Film Trooper Podcast, where I try to help independent filmmakers become entrepreneurs. Why? Because film production is no longer a barrier ... anyone can make a film. Film distribution is no longer a barrier ... anyone can sell their film directly to the world. No. Film marketing is the last barrier, as rising above the noise of the internet is the challenge.

By becoming a filmmaking entrepreneur, a.k.a. Film Trooper, filmmakers can learn the skills necessary to adapt and thrive in this new era of filmmaking and internet marketing.

Join me, Scott McMahon, as I explore these topics. Past guests have included exclusive interviews with Oren Peli, Creator of "Paranormal Activity", Stephanie Palmer of "Good In A Room", Jason Brubaker of "Filmmaking Stuff", Emily Best of "Seed & Spark", and Independent Film Marketing Strategist, Sheri Candler.

In this episode, I interview commercial director, comedian, and fellow podcaster of "Respect the Process", Jordan Brady.
