Outlaw filmmaker Will Roberts shares his insights on the shifting filmmaking industry, broadcasting from a film festival in Claremore, Oklahoma. π¬ With streaming platforms increasingly favoring independent creators, Roberts argues itβs time for filmmakers to rethink their strategy: stop making short films and start focusing on features.

Todayβs viewers and industry professionals are looking for full-length features that can capture audiences on streaming services. π²
Learn how tools like iPhone filmmaking, AI, and UGC (User-Generated Content) can help you create and monetize longer films without the need for massive budgets. Will shares his tips on maximizing your potential in a chaotic industry landscape, from using simple gear to the importance of continuous production and learning. π₯πΈ
