Jason Zink | Horror Stories from the Trenches of Micro-Budget Distribution

Filmmaker Freedom

Today on Filmmaker Freedom, an interview with Jason Zink.

Jason's directed several micro-budget, DIY features, all in the realm of horror and punk rock. His latest is called Straight Edge Kegger, which looks awesome.

He's also experienced first hand just how predatory some traditional distribution deals can be.

So in our wide-ranging conversation, we go deep on Jason's ethos for making cool, grungy flicks that he and his team can be proud of, what to watch out for when offered distribution, his plan for staging a DIY tour for his current film, and a whole lot more.

It's a fun conversation, and I hope you dig it.
