Unlock the hidden power of your past creative work in The Secrets to Using Your Leftovers, a must-watch video for indie filmmakers, actors, writers, and directors at any stage of their journey. Award-winning independent filmmaker Kathi Carey shares the invaluable lesson passed down from a mentor: how to “use your leftovers” — from unused headshots and screenplay drafts to cutaway shots and music cues — to save time, money, and elevate your projects. Whether you're building your brand, editing a screenplay, or refining your film in post, this practical strategy will help you tap into resources you already own to work smarter and tell better stories. Perfect for early-career to mid-level creatives looking to sharpen their craft and get ahead without breaking the bank.
