OC SPOTLIGHT; Nick Messina, INSURGENCE FILM STUDIOS

Posted in Business on March 2, 2025 by OC Talk Radio

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-2msn2-1824107

Nick Messina from INSURGENCE FILM STUDIOS joins us to discuss their revolutionary YouTube production and distribution model for full length, micro-budget films (with budgets from $10,000 to $100,000). They run these on their V CHANNEL on YouTube which claims to be “the fastest growing YouTube Channel for full length movies” with hundreds of full length, low budget films which they also distribute to other free movie apps like Tubi and Pluto. Collecting half the ad revenue from these rapidly growing AVOD (ie-Advertiser supported Video on Demand platforms) which they then share with the actual film producers they finance. They have no creative control over the content they finance. They simply search the sites, see what people are searching for and viewing, supply the indie directors with this data on “what’s working” and then finance them to make more (using the old Roger Corman model of quick, cheap, entertaining pictures that all make money). This isn’t “high art” but is highly profitable. For more information visit http://www.insurgnece.co #octalkradio #films #micobugetfilms #indiefilms #filmmaking #youtube #octalkradio

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-cmpvg-17c776a

Wildfires in LA County are taking a heavy toll, with historic blazes impacting areas like Pacific Palisades and Eaton. Emergency preparedness is critical—especially for cancer patients who need grab-and-go kits (meds, records, contacts) and N95 masks to combat poor air quality.

Meanwhile, promising pancreatic cancer research is creating hope for early detection and improved treatments, even as funding and end-of-life discussions remain key issues.

Thoughts and prayers to all affected.
