Listen now
Description
To end the year, we decided to do something a little different. We don't have a guest this episode. Instead, Jessica, Michael and Dan are discussing the 15 ways to make money in this industry. Our mission is here is to help filmmakers succeed from anywhere, and to do so, you gotta make money and a lot of times you need to have multiple streams of income to keep doing this. We had a lot of fun doing this one, but also hopefully brought up at least one (if not several) opportunities you haven't considered yet!
