John welcomes independent producer Keith Calder to discuss what a producer actually does, how financing and distribution strategies have changed with streaming, and how to approach film festivals as a filmmaker.
We also answer a listener question about which career path to take after being laid-off: climb the Hollywood ladder or bootstrap and just make films.
