10/22/19 • 77 min
Microbudget independent filmmakers Elena Weinberg & Duncan Coe join host Jason Charnick for an in-depth and honest conversation about the challenges of being indie filmmakers in today's highly competitive entertainment industry.
Elena & Duncan moved out to Los Angeles from Austin, Texas 4 months ago as they try to take their career and their craft to the next level. We talk about the fear and anxiety that comes from making a move to LA, as well as a myriad of other topics such as jealousy, determining one's own self-worth, and what it takes to define happiness on your own terms in an industry that constantly tries to take that power away from us.
We hope you enjoy this first episode of Head Above Water and we look forward to bringing you the best conversations with a unique perspective available nowhere else!

Writer and Producer Anna Keizer from the upcoming short film, She Had It Coming, joins us for a frank conversation on her first foray into crowdfunding to raise money for her project.
Crowdfunding has been instrumental in shifting the fundraising dynamic in independent film over the past few years, putting millions of dollars and more at the fingertips of small, microbudget filmmakers. With this newfound access however, comes a litany of new worries and concerns that extend far beyond just filmmaking for many aspiring artists.
Join us for the first half of an enlightening two part discussion with Anna, talking all about her first crowdfunding experience through Seed & Spark, and the challenges that still remain for her new project.
