      IFH 843: How to Turn a Short Film Into a Film Career with Jennifer & Kevin Sluder
      Feb 24 2026
      Jennifer and Kevin Sluder share their journey from North Carolina to Los Angeles and how they built Sunshine Boy Productions into a growing independent film company. Kevin’s early recognition as a screenwriter opened doors, but instead of waiting for projects to materialize, the couple chose to produce their own short films. Their first project ignited a passion for hands-on filmmaking and laid the foundation for their creative partnership.

      As their experience grew, so did their ambitions. Jennifer stepped into marketing and branding while Kevin transitioned into directing with Heartless, a Poe-inspired horror short now touring festivals. Their story highlights the importance of networking, strategic growth, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them—offering a practical blueprint for filmmakers ready to take control of their own careers.

      IFH 842: The Art of Networking in Hollywood – Real Strategies That Work with Erman Baradi & Brandon Waites
      Feb 17 2026
      Erman Baradi and Brandon Waites share practical, real-world advice on how to network effectively in Hollywood without coming across as desperate or transactional. Drawing from their own journeys — from military service and film school to building strong online presences — they explain why relationships, not scripts, are the true currency of the film industry. Their discussion highlights the importance of patience, professionalism, and respecting everyone from assistants to executives.

      The episode also explores common networking mistakes, the power of mentorship, and why building connections before moving to Los Angeles can dramatically increase your odds of success. Through their platform, The Film Empire, they aim to create opportunities that prioritize long-term relationships over short-term wins. It’s an honest conversation about the reality of breaking into Hollywood — and the mindset required to stay in it.
