Description

Most filmmakers talk about chasing the dream.

Very few talk about managing the risk.

Your film will never be risk-free. But you don’t have to gamble your career, your investors, or your family to make something meaningful.

In this episode, I break filmmaking risk into three simple moves:

• Shrink it – by validating the idea and writing a producible script.
• Shift it – onto real budgets, contracts, insurance, and systems.
• Share it – across a slate, a community, and clear expectations.

If you’re taking other people’s money (or even just your own), this isn’t optional. It’s stewardship.

Listen and use it as a gut-check for your next project.
