Fail Safe by the Modern Filmmaker

From the backfield.
Wednesday, December 10th
Hey filmstack…
What if you could turn a cinema desert into a glorious oasis?
I’m building a micro drive-in.
That’s my plan, at least.
And plans typically go astray.
So it should be a fun follow.
Stay tuned.
Together, with Faith.

P.S. As an independent creator, I earn my living through affiliate links, views, sales of my filmmaking dictionary on Amazon, producing industrials via Goodworks (You can hire us!), consulting on individual projects, and a “micro” drive-in movie theatre I’m building.
Reach out if you have an opportunity!
Reminder, advice and networking are always free.
