This week, we sit down with Vancouver indie legend Jason Mills—the one-man movie machine behind 18 feature films, including They Came From the Attic (picked up by Lionsgate UK). Jason talks about his DIY filmmaking roots, how he turns micro-budgets into maximum impact, and why passion beats permission every time.

He breaks down:

• How to shoot a feature film in 5 days
• Why AI shouldn't replace you, but can empower you
• The myth of waiting for the perfect budget
• Why YouTube is his ultimate distribution platform
• The one piece of advice he'd give his younger self
