    BPS 456: The New Rules of Indie Filmmaking No One Is Teaching with the Jalbert Brothers
    Jan 29 2026
    The Jalbert Brothers share how they built their filmmaking careers by embracing low budgets, consistent output, and hands-on learning. Rather than waiting for funding or studio approval, they focused on making films with minimal resources, sometimes for as little as $1,000. Each project became a practical lesson in storytelling, directing, editing, and problem-solving, allowing them to sharpen their skills faster than traditional development paths.

    The conversation highlights the importance of momentum, repetition, and audience awareness in today’s film industry. By treating filmmaking as both a creative and strategic endeavor, the Jalbert Brothers have learned to use social media and digital platforms as powerful tools for distribution and growth. Their journey proves that success in modern filmmaking comes from action, adaptability, and the courage to keep creating — no matter the budget.

  • BPS 455: How to Turn a Script Into a Movie Without Hollywood’s Help with Chris Jay

    BPS 455: How to Turn a Script Into a Movie Without Hollywood’s Help with Chris Jay
    Jan 22 2026
    Chris Jay, once a touring musician with the rock band Army of Freshmen, found a new creative path when the music industry shifted and opportunities dried up. Instead of giving up, he and his bandmate Aaron Goldberg turned to filmmaking, writing and producing their first feature, The Bet. Without studio backing or formal film education, the duo learned everything from scratch — from writing the screenplay to formatting scripts manually and raising money independently. Their story became a lesson in perseverance, proving that filmmaking success often starts with resourcefulness and a willingness to learn by doing.

    Despite budget limitations and countless challenges during production, The Bet made it to completion and secured distribution on major platforms like iTunes, Amazon, and cable VOD. Featuring wrestling legend Roddy Piper in one of his final roles, the film stands as a testament to the power of determination and creative problem-solving. For Chris, the project wasn’t just about making a movie — it was about proving that great stories can come to life outside of Hollywood when passion, teamwork, and persistence lead the way.

I started listening to this podcast to learn as much as I could about the screenwriting process and information about the "industry", as one of many sources during my journey. This podcast certainly has that and more. Guests are a wide range of writers and filmmakers from blockbuster to indie films.

I will say there is a lot of information that seems to be geared toward the indie filmmaker, which seems to be a different world than the commercial industry. At least that's the way I've come to understand it through this podcast. However, through those indie film stories told, I've learned I am certainly not an indie filmmaker or screenwriter. This podcast has helped me understand that I am definitely more of a commercial writer, and that's a good thing in helping me find my voice.

Additionally, the podcast topics are focused on feature film versus television, although there have been a couple of guests - more specifically Pamela Douglas - who have shared their experiences and wisdom about writing for television. Even though I am more interested in TV writing, the podcast as a whole has been very educational.

I started from the first episodes and have been listening my way through the entire library. I will say that the host was a little frustrating to hear toward the beginning, because he would dominate the conversation and constantly share his experiences as a filmmaker instead of letting his guests share their experiences. However, I'm glad to see that Mr. Ferrari has tempered those tendencies as the show has progressed. What he shares is now more of a balance and a dialogue with his guests and the information gleaned is priceless.

I would recommend this podcast for anyone who is looking to find their voice, learn about the movie industry and get on the right path toward a career in either indie filmmaking or screenwriting. Break a leg!

Great Resource for Learning About the Business
