With Halloween right around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about The Apocalypse Box , the last feature film I made  and some of the filmmaking lessons I learned during the process. 

Hopefully these insights will be helpful to anyone thinking about making their first indie feature on a micro budget.

The Apocalypse Box was an epic undertaking. It was released last year, and you can still check it out for free on Tubi or YouTube or download it to watch on Amazon; links below
