TI S3 E18 | Five Goals Every Independent Filmmaker Should Set Before 2026

As the year comes to a close, Garrett Batty and Daren Smith take a step back to reflect—and then look forward. In this episode of Truly Independent, they break down five practical, non-fluffy goals that independent filmmakers can set to stop spinning their wheels and start building momentum that compounds year after year. This isn’t about “making one movie.” It’s about building systems that consistently produce films, audiences, income, and opportunity. They cover: • Why building a direct audience you control is no longer optional • How to develop projects with distribution in mind from day one • The overlooked importance of diversifying income to protect creativity • How to intentionally strengthen strategic relationships that move careers forward • Why you must keep shipping creative work, even when it’s small Whether you’re a director, producer, writer, or filmmaker trying to turn passion into a sustainable path, this episode offers a clear framework for setting up 2026—and beyond—for real progress. No hype. No wishful thinking. Just honest strategy for truly independent filmmaking.
