Filmmaker Zach Bandler on Not Bowing to the Market Artwork

Reckless Creatives

A Pipeline Artists original podcast about nothing and everything. Hosts Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman share the truth, and nothing but the truth, about the challenges and benefits of living life as artists, striving for freedom to create in any medium, even ones you never thought of before. It's honest—no sugarcoating or selling hope. We tell it like it is, while always finding ways to make lemonade out of lemons. Think of us as Michael Bay, but with action items that don’t explode.

Zach Bandler shares his unique path from actor to filmmaker, all while creating a niche of highlighting the challenges of those afflicted with dementia. Now, he has a lane, financial support, and a purpose more powerful than just "entertainment."

You're going to want to watch his short film, Koko Suzanne | Omeleto, and listen to this because we quite literally have life-saving advice included.

If you want to learn how you can create your own niche, join Zach's Symposium on June 24th, "Finding Your Niche: Buck Trends to Build a Career with Purpose"
