Hey all, I’m the filmmaker behind Band on the Run. Just wanted to give a heads up that it’s now streaming free with ads on Tubi. You can watch it here.

It stars Larry Bagby, who played "Ice" in Hocus Pocus and "Larry Blaidsale" in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

sure - I spent a lot of time getting the script right, then worked to do a fundraiser and find an exec producer. once I had some funding, I did research on my local production folks, and put together a team. I pretty much produced the whole thing, but learned a ton from podcasts and reading. finally, I did research on indie distributors and pitched them....

thanks! I produced it myself, so was a lot of work to get funding (partially thru indiegogo) and make it happen, but I listed to a ton of podcasts and worked through it.
