Strap in, independent film fans! I have over 2 hours of conversations with filmmakers of all kinds and fans of independent films in this episode, thanks to spending 3 glorious days at the 2026 Cindependent Film Festival, presented with LADD. Sadly, due to the weather, I lost a lot of Day 2, but there are still so many great conversations to enjoy! I’m pretty sure I have everyone’s timestamps and any links listed here properly, but feel free to contact me with any corrections.
