Going Indie: Pros and Cons

Thinking about going indie? This is the podcast for you. What are the pros and the cons to eschewing the “system?” There are some GENUINE advantages to being your own studio, publisher or distribution network. There are also some disadvantages. How much you enjoy going indie very much depends on how you navigate those pros and cons, and how much you know yourself and what you like. We discuss our own experiences and lessons learned being independent AND traditional creatives.

Also, Josh recommends the WWE (recorded back before the announcement that Vince McMahon was returning, btw), and Ira recommends 1979’s classic Phantasm and the 2008 Get Smart with Steve Carrel and Anne Hathaway.
