Want To Make a Movie? Sell Your House! — Inside The BTS Doc About “The Last Stop In Yuma County”

This week on Off The Lot, Ken Kabatoff sits down with directors Eric Foss and Brandon Pickering to discuss their new documentary Sell Your House — a behind-the-scenes look at the making of indie crime thriller The Last Stop In Yuma County that became something far bigger.The film follows producer James Claeys, who sold his own house to finance the movie after years of failed studio development, celebrity attachments, and dead-end distribution conversations. Eric and Brandon break down how a planned 20-minute featurette evolved into a feature documentary about friendship, risk, self-distribution, and the harsh realities of modern indie filmmaking.The conversation dives deep into film financing, predatory distribution deals, audience building through social media, YouTube success stories, and why more filmmakers are starting to question the traditional Hollywood system altogether.If you’re trying to figure out how independent films actually get made — and what happens after the movie is finished — this episode is for you.Follow Ken's Indie Horror Feature Remnant here:www.remnantmovie.comFollow Ken Kabatoff's newsletter The Film Founder here:https://kenkabatoff.substack.com/aboutFollow Anthony Epp's newsletter The Filmmaker's Notebook here:www.anthonyepp.comFollow Ken & Anthony on Instagram here:@ken_kabatoff@epptri
