Liz Manashil and Alrik Bursell discuss independent filmmaking, everything from writing, producing and directing to working as crew. But this is not just a podcast about "making it," it's also about struggling with rejection, self-doubt and everything else that comes with pursuing a career in film. Follow along as we forge our own way through the industry and talk to guests who are also making it happen.

Zoe Eisenberg - Premiering at Slamdance with First Feature Chaperone!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 263 from May 2020 with Greg Barker about moving from career in documentaries to making his first narrative feature for Netflix. I thought this was a good pairing for Stefon because both their first narrative features were produced by Netflix, under very different circumstances and in different points in their careers. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 359 from Februrary 2022 with writer and show runner Rebecca Cutter who talks about working her way up in the writers room and creating her own show, Hightown!
