Wondering how to get your film made and out into the world? It’s not for the faint of heart and I applaud all my fellow filmmakers for their tenacity.

I think it’s easy to sit on the sidelines and think that someone who’s finished their film had an easy path. It’s never easy. And it’s never a straight line.

I’ve really enjoyed putting series 3 of the Documentary Filmmaker Podcast together. It’s given me a chance to reflect on the whole process which has spanned 10 years!!!

And I’m sharing the learnings to help others on their journey. At the moment we’re in release on Conquering Breast Cancer. And getting an audience to a cinema to see a film on cancer is no mean feat. So if we can do it, you can too.

Find out how in this series, you can find it on all the usual podcast platforms and you know it… link in bio!

“If you want your film to reach an audience, you just have to do the legwork.” Sue Collins S3 Ep5 on Diving Deeper Into the Making of Conquering Breast Cancer.
