Welcome to the Film Trooper Podcast, where we empower the filmmaking entrepreneur.  Why?  Because film production is no longer a barrier ... anyone can make a film.  Film distribution is no longer a barrier ... anyone can sell their film directly to the world.  Film sales and marketing are the last barriers!  To rise above the noise of the internet is the challenge — this is the podcast that explores these topics to help you, the filmmaking entrepreneur.

Learn what works and what doesn't work  — then decide how you would apply the lessons to your journey!
