Film and Family
We're a married couple of filmmakers, supporting our family of seven through doing work we love, together. It's been a long and difficult journey, and we still have a lot to learn, but for us, it's well-worth the effort.
We developed this podcast and the Feature Filmmaker Academy for anyone who wants a career making feature films, especially those balancing that pursuit with the responsibility of parenthood and providing for a family.
Tune in as we study success patterns of industry professionals, interview other feature filmmakers, share takeaways from our favorite film courses or books, and give behind-the-scenes breakdowns and insights on films you love.

Ep. 8 - Expectations: When to Drop Them, When to Keep Them
Have you ever struggled with family members or cast/crew not living up to your expectations?
What is the purpose of having expectations of someone? What does it mean to have an expectation, and how are your expectations of others serving you? Them?
In this episode we explain how releasing others from our expectations can actually liberate us, in a process called "throwing away the manual." We also explore alternatives to "expectations" and how we can help others without making ourselves emotionally dependent upon their performance/actions.
