Episode 2: Alex Srednoselac

From Movie Theater Employee to Award-Winning FilmmakerAlex Srednoselac wanted to make movies since he was a kid. It wasn't some side-hustle thing, he just wanted to make movies. So when everyone told him it was impractical, expensive, and borderline delusional, he did what any stubborn filmmaker would do: he made one anyway.Shot on weekends in garages and the movie theater where he worked, Cashing Out went on to win Best Feature at World Fest Houston Film Festival. Now it's streaming on YouTube, Plex, Voodoo, and a dozen other platforms. Not bad for a debut feature with no budget and a crew of 60.These days, Alex runs a YouTube channel teaching filmmakers how to produce and distribute no-budget films, works full-time on a successful bourbon YouTube channel, and just made his first short in five years: After Image, a sci-fi film created during the 2025 48 Hour Film Project. Oh, and he's a blackjack tournament champion.If you've been waiting for permission to start creating, this is it.Watch Cashing Out at CashingOutFilm.comWatch After Image free on YouTube: Alex SrednoselacFind all his films at AWSFilms.com
