Making Cowboy: From Grassroots to Production

I’m a filmmaker, producer, and first-time feature creator documenting the real, unfiltered process of bringing Cowboy, a queer indie film about an openly gay bull rider, to life from the ground up. If you’ve ever wanted to make your first movie but felt overwhelmed, underfunded, or unsure where to start, this series is for you.

Here, I share everything I’m learning in real time:
• How I’m producing my first feature film
• Fundraising and budgeting
• Building a team
• Mindset and confidence
• Queer storytelling, indie filmmaking, and authentic representation
• Actionable tips to help you make your own work

This is not film school, this is real filmmaking. My goal is to encourage more artists, queer creators, and first-time filmmakers to take the leap and make the stories they believe in. If you’re ready to learn, get inspired, and watch a feature film come to life in real time, subscribe and join the journey.

Let’s show what indie filmmaking can be!
