Wow! It’s wild to think that we have reached 700 episodes of the No Film School Podcast! We feel so honored to share filmmaking knowledge with passionate filmmakers, through these weekly conversations. 


In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:

  • What we have learned over the last 7 years of this podcast
  • Asking the questions we wish we had the answers to as beginners
  • Why it’s important to be engaged in these type of conversations 
  • Having an independent film streaming platform - could it work?
  • The important role marketing has on the success of indie films
  • Working with the streaming platforms that already exist
  • Film Markets - great place to connect with potential distributors



    • Memorable Quotes

    • “It’s okay not to know everything. You just have to take one step at a time.” [3:31]
    • “Writing is like ironing a shirt. You’re going over and over the same area. Trying to make each individual thing perfect.” [7:07]
    • “How come we don’t build an independent media streaming service, like Netflix for indie movies?” [13:09]
    • “The platform is not coming to save you. You are the captain of that ship, and you’re steering it.” [25:27]
