Adam Kinyon

Gratitude is the operative word with filmmaker Adam Kinyon, founder of Best Dressed Films and producing two independent features in 2024. How do you get your short made? What's the state of play for producers in independent film? If you're an indie director looking for a producer or a producer looking for a director, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

• how Adam got started and the importance of mentorship;
• the importance of "relentless positivity". how he takes that attitude into his work, and it keeps him working constantly;
• what he's working on now, producing films with a lot of moving parts without having a lot of money;
• how he sees the disconnect between money and creators;
• crowdfunding's place in indie filmmaking;
• what kind of films, genres, and directors he's looking for.

And he's "Delta till he dies." So are we, Adam. (Check out on the indie films on your next Delta flight.)
