The MAKE IT Podcast is brought to you by Nicholas Buggs and Christopher Barkley, founders of Bonsai Creative. Our goal is to give a voice to the independent filmmaking community like no one has ever done before.

Our conversations with indie filmmakers take a deep dive into who they are as people and how their life experiences have shaped their careers. We provide a platform for indie filmmakers to share their insights, perspectives, thoughts, and ideas to audiences across the world so that others may learn from their successes, their lessons, and their mistakes.

We invite you to share this episode with a friend and, if you enjoyed it, we ask that you rate and review our podcast on the platform of your choice. The more love we get, the broader the audience we can reach.

As always,

Be Better. Be Creative. Be Engaged.
