In this conversation, Jeremy and I discuss his journey from filmmaking to content creation. We talk about the challenges faced by indie filmmakers in today's hot mess industry, why he stopped teaching film, hope for future filmmakers and his experience working with Bod Saget on his last film. Of course we discuss Jeremy's transition to YouTube and what makes a successful channel.
