Sam Rocco (director, Stegosaurus), Curtis Waugh (producer, Stegosaurus), Huck Walton (producer, Legend of the White Dragon), Jessie McKollum (hair and makeup artist), Kait Cornuelle (writer/director), and Jessica Antenorcruz (writer/narrative designer) discuss what it really takes to make a feature film outside the traditional studio system. From writing a script filmmakers can actually afford to surviving production disasters and getting to a finished film, the panel shares practical lessons learned across all filmmaking disciplines. The discussion offers a realistic understanding of how independent filmmakers can turn an idea into a completed feature without waiting for permission from the industry.
