Every once in a while I do one of these shows and someone brings a completely unique perspective that surprises me.

This week's guest - Tony Gapastione - did exactly that. In my research for the episode, I looked into Tony's background and came to find out we had a similar upbringing. An upbringing that eventually led us both to making low-budget indie films. Tony has a wonderfully positive perspective, even through some trying and difficult situations. He talks about how using letdowns and trials to motivate him.

We talk about how going to film festivals, even festivals that have turned your film down, can be a great way to network and push forward with your projects. Tony also discusses how he kickstarted his first short film and learned to utilize his budget as he moved forward into his first low-budget feature: Last Chance Charlene.

This and so much more!
