Podcasts: Discount Film School

Discount Film School cover
I'm Frankie Frain, and I've been making movies since I was a kid. I’ve made a handful of low-budget films of varying success and I’ve been to film school twice. For better or worse, I’ve developed a science for completing feature length films on pocket change and it has a lot to do with the kinds of conversations you'll hear on this podcast with teachers, friends, and artists. You don’t have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for bad advice. This is Discount Film School.
