In this exciting episode of Studio B Sessions, we explore the real-world challenges and triumphs of indie filmmaking with our guest, Mario Rangel — a skilled creative and trusted collaborator. What began as a simple project for filmmaker Daisy soon evolved into a powerful partnership, as we worked side by side to turn scattered footage into the cohesive story behind Melt On This Music. From writing new material, to fill narrative gaps, to solving complex production puzzles, this episode dives deep into the creative problem-solving that defines the indie film world.

But filmmaking isn’t just about creativity — it’s about navigating the business side too. We discuss the delicate art of negotiating budgets, assembling the right crew, and securing equipment that meets both technical demands and client expectations. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, these conversations offer valuable insights into finding the balance between fair pricing and delivering standout work.

Throughout the episode, we reflect on the lessons learned from years of collaboration — from managing interview shoots and coordinating multi-location projects, to the trust and teamwork that are essential for success in a competitive industry. Whether you're capturing stories in remote villages or producing polished corporate content, this conversation sheds light on the passion, strategy, and perseverance that drive great filmmaking.
