In this episode of Truly Independent, Garrett Batty and Darren Smith sit down with Andrew and J. Huff — the filmmaking duo behind Doc Connor. They break down how they transformed a small, bootstrapped web series into a full-length feature film, secured theatrical release, and navigated the indie distribution maze without waiting for studio approval.
We cover:
• How they launched their production company
• Turning a kids’ web series into a feature film
• Funding the project and finding partners
• The realities of independent distribution
• Working with streamers, brokers, and platforms
• Building a brand, not just a movie
• Why 2025 is a strategic year for indie theatrical releases
• Tips for filmmakers creating content for kids and families
• How to think like a producer and push past “no”
This conversation is packed with real strategies, honest insights, and practical stories for anyone making their own path in film — whether you’re starting your first project or already grinding through distribution.
