Shownotes

Anthony Epp sits down with Ken Kabatoff for a candid conversation about the recent changes to Telefilm Canada's development funding, the challenges facing emerging Canadian filmmakers, and the growing need to balance creative ambition with financial sustainability.

They reflect on networking, content creation, building an audience, and why long-term careers are built through persistence rather than overnight success.

Listen now for an honest discussion about filmmaking, funding, creative resilience, and what it really takes to keep making movies.
