Maria Mealla - Bianca Beyrouti - Ryan Gielen - Michael Alden - Sarah - Napa Valley Film Festival 2019!

This week we have a very special episode with more guests than usual! Co-Host Liz Manashil's latest film Speed of Life played the Napa Valley Film Festival and the festival was gracious enough to allow us to record an episode live at the festival with a group of filmmakers, including previous guest Maria Mealla and her producer Bianca Beyrouti from Bring Me An Avocado and Ryan Gielen, Michael Alden and one of their cast members Sarah Burkowitz, from their film, My Beautiful Stutter.

Om Podcasten

Liz Manashil and Alrik Bursell discuss independent filmmaking, everything from writing, producing and directing to working as crew. But this is not just a podcast about "making it," it's also about struggling with rejection, self-doubt and everything else that comes with pursuing a career in film. Follow along as we forge our own way through the industry and talk to guests who are also making it happen. Episodes 238-299 are available at our patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/mmihpodcast
