Say hello and tell us... - Who you are, what you’re working on, and what brought you to the alley. - Share a picture of yourself (or meme) that sums up your current situation or state of mind. - Where are you right now in your filmmaking journey (poll)?

This is where we talk about the business side of the craft — how to escape the 9–5 grind and build a life of creative and financial freedom. Share questions, tips, or wins about freelancing, landing clients, building income streams, or carving out your career path.

Think your project can handle the heat? Post a trailer, teaser, or short scene from your work — whether it’s a feature, short film, music video, or other narrative project — and let the community decide who’s up next for The Roast. 👉 How it works: 1. Share your trailer/teaser in the comments — the community votes with likes + engagement. 2. The project with the most traction gets picked for the next roast. 3. The filmmaker posts the full project for everyone to watch before the live roast session. 🎬 Remember: This is all about learning, laughing, and leveling up together. Every filmmaker has polished a turd at some point — so let’s laugh about it, roast it, and take the lessons with us. Think of this as a safe space to bring your cinematic misfires without judgment.
