Hey team, We're back, and I’m excited to share that we’re reopening this community and giving it another strong run for the next stretch. I truly believe this platform has real value, and I’m committed to building it into something meaningful. If you’re willing, I’d love your help spreading the word and inviting the right people in. One important note: I’m likely going to transition this into a paid group down the road, but anyone who joins while it’s free will be permanently grandfathered in. So now’s the time to get them in. I’m also including a few free resources you may find helpful: - Film Idea Validator (Brand new!): filmvalidator.com  - Free Filmmaker Bootcamp: SIGN ME UP HERE! - Filmmaker Readiness Scorecard: TAKE TEST HERE! - Join the story academy! Hyperseries Academy - Join us for a FREE Virtual Happy Hour - HERE! - Follow me on social: ronaldnewcomb | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree I can also send you the: - Questions every filmmaker should ask Distributors. - List of Tax Incentives

Hey Team, Thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey to build a thriving community. Your presence, energy, and engagement have meant a lot. As many of you know, maintaining this platform comes at a monthly cost, and while we made meaningful strides, we weren’t able to grow the group to a level that makes it sustainable long-term. With that in mind, I’ve made the difficult decision to close down the group. That said, this is by no means goodbye. You can always connect with me over on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronnewcomb/, and continue learning and growing through The Indie Coach Podcast on YouTube: Podcast Playlist. I'm cheering you on and look forward to seeing what you create next. All the best, Ron

Hey all, since Ron is closing this group down, I figured I'd offer to keep the party going over on Facebookland with this quick little group page I ginned up. I know it won't be as great as this one, but I figured we could keep the fun going in some form or fashion over there. Feel free to join if you like: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/15L1X7FowA/

Hey Tribe, I’ve put together a quick survey for my new filmmaking business venture, Concept Compass, and would love your help. Before I send it out more broadly, can you take a moment to go through it and let me know what you think? I’m looking for your honest feedback—on the survey itself. Does it make sense? Anything confusing or missing? https://forms.gle/oMHE1XzGNWSKrhjc6 Your insight means a lot. Appreciate you! 🙌 PS. feel free to go through it yourself! :)

Hey team —I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on this event concept. I'm still on the fence about moving forward, so your thoughts could really help clarify things. Here’s the draft landing page:👉 https://theforgestudios.wixstudio.com/dcpitchevent Take a look and let me know: - Does the concept resonate? - Anything confusing or missing? - Would you attend, or recommend someone who should? Thanks in advance — your input matters on this one.
