I also discuss the investor deck, the filmmaking digital school project, and the strides I’ve made in my novel writing.Beyond that, I explore key topics like the real struggles of indie filmmaking, why companies fail to properly educate their employees—making career growth harder—and how we, as a society, are losing the ability to recognize and communicate mission-critical information.I also share my thoughts on the Indie Spirit Awards (and award shows in general), an escape room adventure, and my review of Ne Zha 2.
