He wrote to me through Instagram because he is taking his underground indie film \u201cWe Need Rent Money\u201d on tour of the cannabis dispensaries of the USA. When Blake reached out to see if I would help promote his<br \/>\nscreening at The Higher Path, in Sherman Oaks, CA, his indie spirit inspired me to not care that his film did not come to me through Sherman Oaks Film Festival or Film Invasion Los Angeles. This person has been said no to hundreds and hundreds of<br \/>\ntimes, but he keeps pressing forward. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did filming it!<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Blake and his film at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weneedrentmoney.com\/\">https:\/\/www.weneedrentmoney.com<\/a> or at his social media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/weneedrentmoney\/\">@weneedrentmoney<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Discover Indie Film Links\u2028<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverindiefilm.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DIF Website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/difwins\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DIF Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/difwins\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DIF Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DIFwins\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DIF Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TVHi Links\u2028<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/watchtvhi.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TVHi Website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/watchtvhi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TVHi Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watchtvhi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TVHi Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/watchtvhi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TVHi Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3041 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverindiefilm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/we-need-rent-money-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Discover Film<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is a departure episode for Discover Indie Film, but everyone should check out Blake Laitner because he is the definition of an indie filmmaker.
