Who's guiding you?

Your Filmmaker Friend

Founder

Your Filmmaker Friend founded Filmmaker Journey to give early- and mid-career filmmakers the clear, practical guidance seldom found in classrooms or festival lobbies. After years in festival programming, indie production, and post-production trenches, they saw talented creators stall for lack of reliable advice.

Drawing on that experience, Your Filmmaker Friend built a hub where filmmakers can compare festivals and distributors, follow step-by-step tutorials, and tap into insights collated by a hand-picked team of producers, sales agents, and film advisors.

Our mission remains simple: keep your artistic vision on track and your career moving forward—one informed decision at a time.
