Whitmer Thomas and Clay Tatum (writers/directors of The Civil Dead) discuss what its like to make an independent film. They talk about the process of getting $30,000, being rejected from all the cool festivals, and then breaking through with someone who would help get them into distribution. It's a super entertaining look at how movies get made now. I hope you like it as much as I did.
