In this candid episode, we sit down with fellow producers of our first large-scale feature film, Backyard/Desert, to unpack the emotional rollercoaster of indie film fundraising. Backyard/Desert follows a young border patrol agent who discovers a dying migrant in the Yuma desert - forcing her to confront the harsh realities of her job and her identity. We open up about the grind of raising funds as first-time-feature filmmakers, share lessons learned, and offer real tips for those just starting out.
