Takeaways:
Internet is new frontier for independent work
If you have the money to produce, why not make it palatable to many people, as opposed to just yourself?
It’s much more impressive to reach many people than just a few
Can be done in any genre
Creativity doesn’t need to have a lot of money, and sometimes small-budget ideas are better than the big-budget ones
Always want to keep the ball rolling and move on to next project
Before moving to LA, make sure you have money first to live off of, be prepared, and network before arriving
Filmmaking is a warzone game of chess
