What Is Indie For Real?
There are a lot of online classes on how to make a film. But how often do you get to see an independent film get made from start to finish? Indie for Real gives a behind the scenes peek into the difficulties that come with low-budget filmmaking.
Watch this independent film crew from Mid-Missouri discuss their personal experience on set, the mistakes they made and tricks that will help you save money and time. You will hear from the Director of Photography, Lighting, Acting, Stunts, Producing, Sound and Editing and they will share a much more detailed understanding and give you REAL advice on the reality of making films. The crew battled through Covid, a short shooting schedule and a young, inexperienced cast to bring a difficult story to the screen. You won’t get anymore hands on then this unless you are actually on set.
“The Land of Milk & Honey,” was a passion project for Writer/Producer, Brian Scroggs who grew up with a father with PTSD.

Growing up with a father with PTSD
Brian Scroggs discusses what it was like to grow up with a Vietnam Vet as a father and his inspiration to writing The Land of Milk & Honey
“The kids were required to take a stunt class, write their own short script, choreograph it and perform. We were lucky to have Kurt Heinlein, a stunt coordinator and professor at Missouri State available to teach. It was invaluable for the shoot.”
— Brian J. Scroggs
