A Full Circle Moment
We're back! Now, what's next?
In Season 3, Erika and Kristi Ray are taking you on a raw, unfiltered journey in filmmaking through an indie lens - from curating their list of features in development, to maxmizing IP, to writing and producing original screenplays, to getting to Day 01 on set of their second original feature, Host Country.
This week, the Honeys reflect on the ways in which their award-winning debut feature, A Song For Imogene, became their calling card film and set them up for success when making the jump from a micro budget to six figures: it all started with having their back-pocket pitch ready before meeting an EP at their world premiere (hint: it wasn't at Sundance).
