FT 013: How to Make $500,000 Selling a No-Budget DSLR Indie Film with Michael Polish

September 09, 2019

I'm always looking for indie filmmaking models to study. I like to analyze how other filmmakers make successful indie films while doing through a new DIY method, self-distributing their film or achieving critical and fan respect for their work.

Well, I found a film that checks all the boxes, For Lovers Only create by the Polish Brothers, Michael and Mark Polish (more on that film later). These filmmakers have been making films, on their terms, for over a decade now.

Michael Polish sat down with me for an amazing interview about his filmmaking life, Hollywood and what it means to be an artist.
