Hey Indie Filmmakers

Hey Indie Filmmakers

Author: Griffin Hammond & Nick Bodmer Language: English Episodes: 100
Griffin Hammond and Nick Bodmer host Hey Indie Filmmakers, a conversation built from their distinct perspectives-one from the trenches of documentary filmmaking and the other from the intricate world of gear and tech. This isn't a lecture series; it's a practical, often irreverent, dialogue for anyone holding a camera with a story to tell but without a studio budget. You'll hear them dissect the real challenges of DIY production, from choosing accessible equipment and navigating new software to the creative problem-solving that happens when plans inevitably fall apart. The discussion naturally spans the artistic, technical, and logistical, reflecting the messy, rewarding process of bringing a vision to life. While this podcast stands on its own, their episodes also exist as video conversations for those who want to see the gear demos or the hosts' reactions in real time. Tune in for honest talk that demystifies the tools and celebrates the hustle, offering a sense of camaraderie and actionable insights for your next project.
