In this episode, filmmakers Bob Woolsey and Darren Borrowman break down the entire chaotic journey of making their indie feature film Do Something with Your Life—from crowdfunding disasters and broken cameras to film festivals, self-distribution, and the harsh realities of today’s indie film marketplace. Along the way, they share invaluable lessons about collaboration, creativity, and why waiting for permission is the fastest way to never make your movie. The conversation dives deep into crowdfunding strategy, low-budget filmmaking hacks, horror film distribution, DSLR filmmaking, building long-term creative teams, and the emotional rollercoaster of surviving post-production. Bob and Darren reveal why modern filmmakers must think beyond just making the movie and start planning distribution from day one. This is a masterclass in DIY filmmaking from two creators who learned everything the hard way—and kept going anyway.
