In this episode, we hear from Dan Steadman of Circa 87 films (www.circa87.com.) Dan talks about how he got started in the industry at a young age, his adventures in Hollywood with folks like Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Coolidge, Tony Hale, Octavia Spencer and so many more, and his transition from repped screenwriter at Endeavor to moving to the Midwest where he lives now. Now he focuses on teaching aspiring filmmakers and actors while working on his own micro-budget features. To date, he has written and directed 12 of them.  

Dan Steadman has a ton of great stories and advice for filmmakers based in the Midwest. We talk a lot about the allure of hitting big, but also the benefits of doing work on your own terms.
