ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Sadie and Jeanne talk with Susan Gorrell, Executive Director of Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. 

Sure, the convo started off in places we never expected, but stick around ... because Susan drops incredible advice on fests and more. Film festivals not only highlight incredible talent, but also provide great networking opportunities for indie filmmakers. 

The festival runs April 18-25, 2026 (always in April, so plan ahead).
