The Hard Earned Truths About Indie Filmmaking with 'Tight Lettuce' Filmmakers Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby

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!Resources from this episode: Tight Lettuce TrailerTight Lettuce WebsiteVesperia FilmsVesperia InstagramKeelhaulPipeline Podcasts:All OG Pipeline Artists podcasts can be found on pipelineartists.com/listen.YouTube:Watch full (read that as "most ... maybe not any" because Jeanne is tired) episodes on YouTube.Follow us on X:@recklesscr8tive@SadieKDean@jeannevb@pipelineartistsFollow us on IG:@recklesscr8tive@_thesadiedean_@jeannevb_@pipelineartistsDive into our affordable education platform, Symposium, for live events and on-demand.Enter Pipeline's Contests:Script Pipeline—Screenwriting/TV/PitchFilm Pipeline—Short Scripts/FilmsBook Pipeline  Dive into our affordable education platform, Symposium, for live events and on-demand.Enter Pipeline's Contests:Script Pipeline—Screenwriting/TV/PitchFilm Pipeline—Short Scripts/FilmsBook Pipeline
