What does pre-production on an indie feature actually look like — just weeks before cameras roll?

In this first full episode of The Next Film, we sit down with the producing team behind the upcoming Tribeca-backed indie feature Snare — Sonja O’Hara, MARS, and Adam Hoelzel — as they are deep in pre-production.

We talk candidly about:
— Balancing creative ambition with budget realities
— Wearing multiple hats as director, writer, producer, and actor
— Building momentum before production
— Protecting the work while everything moves fast
— What it really takes to get an indie feature from idea to set

Hosted by award-winning filmmaker & actor Jessica Michael Davis (Escaping Ohio)
