This week on the podcast I have a returning guest, filmmaker Justin Milton. I had Justin on about a year ago and it was one of my most popular episodes as Justin is a real source of knowledge when it comes to making money with low budget movies and Tubi, self distribution and getting your films to turn a profit.

I sat down with Justin to ask him what he's been up to over the last 12 months and what trends and changes to the business he's seen, in particular with regards to streaming and Tubi.
