One of the most prolific indie filmmakers in recent years is undoubtably Joe Swanberg. He’s best known for his feature film Drinking Buddies, but has made dozens of other feature films too – including a string of 7 that he produced and directed in just one year.

In this week’s episode, I distilled my 8 biggest takeaways from his keynote and shared some of my own thoughts on each point. Topics covered include: why working with no money can be better than some money, when to invest in your own films, how shooting 25 pages a day can be feasible, why you should spend as little as you can on your production, and much more.
