Program Manager of the Victoria Film Festival, Bryan Skinner, takes us behind the scenes of directing an independent film.

Along with host Joyce Kline, Bryan shares the making of Bryan's film Open For Submissions, a self-sabotaging feature-length mockumentary focused on what else? The inner workings of a film festival.

Find out what it took to create Open for Submissions "filmed in 12 locations, with 31 actors and do it in just 8 brutal days."

Learn how sometimes the best advice when you're in the weeds really is from your producer (Ana De Lara) coming at a roadblock from arms length.

And what's the festival circuit really like for a filmmaker living in an online world? Find out on this latest episode of Push In, the CineVic Podcast.
