In this episode, I'm joined by actor and filmmaker Hannah Barefoot to talk about building a career as a working actor, her recurring role on NCIS: Origins, our new short film Crow, and the leap into producing and crowdfunding her own first feature, Wyoming Christmas Carol.
Throughout the interview Hannah breaks down how she went from a string of day jobs to 80 film and TV credits, and how that's now led her into feature filmmaking.
We also get deep into the producer side of indie filmmaking. Hannah shares exactly how she's financing Wyoming Christmas Carol through a WeFunder equity crowdfunding campaign, why fiscal sponsorship matters for filmmakers, and the practical steps for building pitch materials that actually convert.
Topics covered include:
Hannah's path from small-town Wyoming to 80+ film and TV credits
Burning out, quitting acting, and finding her way back in her late twenties
Landing a recurring role on NCIS: Origins
Why the "small" no-budget projects are so often the ones that change everything
Financing a feature through WeFunder equity crowdfunding
Fiscal sponsorship, 501(c)(3)s, and why they matter for indie filmmakers
Shooting in-character photo shoots to sell a project more effectively
