Apu Script Contest + Advice for Women in Film | Guests John Rhodes, Mara Lesemann

Apu on 'The Simpsons' has become a controversial character especially for Indian-Americans who are often mocked by the voice. Internet celeb Adi Shankar has teamed up with our guest John Rhodes of Coverfly. They are launching a contest seeking the perfect Simpsons script to finally change Apu in some meaningful way and to put an end to the controversy. We are also joined by Mara Lesemann with advice for women getting into the film business.

GET REAL INDIE FILM[CAST] is hosted by filmmaker and author Jeffrey Michael Bays (www.borgus.com), and filmmaker Forris Day, Jr.
