Clapboard Jungle: Surviving the Independent Film Business (2020)
This movie follows Justin McConnell (Lifechanger) over five years in his life and career as an independent filmmaker, as he continually asks himself, “How does an indie filmmaker survive in the current film business?” Beyond the story of McConnell, this has plenty of quotes and advice from an army of filmmakers, actors and others behind […]
Peligro…! Mujeres en Acción (1969)
