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.

The Hard Earned Truths About Indie Filmmaking with 'Tight Lettuce' Filmmakers Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode, Sadie has the pleasure of speaking with two phenomenal indie filmmakers – Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby about their debut feature film Tight Lettuce.
The film took home the Audience Award for Best Quebec Feature at Fantasia Film Festival (2026). The film is currently on a limited release theatrical run - but be sure to follow them on Instagram and their website for updates.
Now, these are two indie filmmakers you need to have on your radar. They're carving their own path, one film at a time (actually quite a few films at a time), and all that hard work has taken them on a grand journey to getting to make this feature film. The film is based on a true story - and these two dug deep on the topic on hand about addiction and familial bonds.
These two share a lot on the topic of independent filmmaking, the process, the collaborative effort, and share key learning points from this latest creative endeavor (ie don't shoot car scenes)!
And don't worry - Jeanne will be back! We have some really great conversations dropping here soon - so stay tuned!
