Film Bug

“Film Bug” is a storytelling podcast that gives a glimpse into the behind the scenes on indie film, web series and television projects. It’s a space where filmmakers recount the process of creating a project from development to delivery. Filmmakers tell it all, from the begging, borrowing, and stealing to the good, the bad, and the ugly. “Film Bug” is released by seasons of 7 to 10 episodes with season 1 premiering on September 9th.
