Making a movie is hard. Making a movie with a skeleton crew, a tiny budget, and a mountain of creative ambition? That’s a whole different art form. In this episode, Zack sits down with filmmaker Steven Kanter to unpack the journey behind his latest feature film "Peak Season"—created with a team of less than six people.

Steven shares how his scrappy approach to filmmaking led to a SXSW premiere and a theatrical release, offering insights into what it really takes to bring a creative vision to life against the odds. From finding collaborators you trust with your life to embracing the imperfections that make indie filmmaking magical.

Whether you’re dreaming of your own indie film or just curious about the behind-the-scenes grind, this conversation will leave you inspired to grab your camera and start creating.
