What happens when you decide to make a feature film without the safety net of a big budget?
In this episode, I’m joined by filmmaker Shawn Goolsby to talk about his debut feature 'The Test', a project born out of determination, creativity and the realities of independent filmmaking.
We explore the journey from concept to completion, the challenges of working with limited resources and what it takes to actually finish a feature film. Shawn shares honest insights into the highs, lows and lessons learned along the way.
If you’re into filmmaking or trying to create your own indie feature, this episode is for you.
