This week BD Gunnell puts on a masterclass teaching all of us all about line producing, budgets, and how to properly prep your film.  She gives us some insight into how distributors are going to look at your actors as a return on investment and what good leadership on set looks like.  She&apos;s line produced and creative produced for over a decade on features like Lazy Susan (Sean Hayes, Allison Janney and Matthew Broderick) and Shriver (Michael Shannon). https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4042157/?ref_=nm_mv_close We also talk about Nate&apos;s punishment and tease what Jake&apos;s punishment will be at the end of this month.  Look out for video content around that @lippnate and @indiefilminsider.
