“It’s not every day that I get a chance to meet filmmakers as innovative, forward-thinking, and quite frankly, as cool as Katie Weinstein and Michael Feder of production company Raw Daisies. Instead of waiting for work to come their way, or sitting around hoping to hear back from festivals and distributors, Katie and Feder—as Michael likes to go by—are taking their careers by the horns in bold and novel ways.”
But Katie Elle Weinstein and Michael Feder aren’t waiting for permission. Through their production company, @rawdaisies , they launched the Summer Fest Series, a radical reimagining of how films can be made, funded, and seen.
This isn’t just about keeping indie film alive—it’s about reinventing what it can be.
Learn more about how Raw Daisies is rewriting the rules of filmmaking in the full interview.
