The Producer Bootcamp podcast lifts the veil and questions the film industry at its core. Here, we no longer accept what we’ve been told to accept. We don’t believe in the notion of art vs. commerce. We believe art is commerce.
This episode I get to speak with filmmaker Rob Smat who made the film THE LAST WHISTLE. Incredibly smart guy.

Nancy is awesome. She knows her shit when it comes to distro and marketing for films. She isn’t shying away from what isn’t working and how film makers need to be readjusting their whole idea of how they see film marketing if they want their film to be successful. We speak the same language.
