Call for Entrieshttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/call-for-entries--7197825
Drawing from over a decade of experience developing, producing, and releasing independent films, Hubbard explores the space between submission and screen—where strategy, relationships, and opportunity shape a project’s path. Through conversations with filmmakers, producers, programmers, and industry professionals, Call for Entries examines what actually moves a film forward.

Some guests have found success within the system. Others have questioned it. And some are actively working to reshape it. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a conversation about the process. Whether you’re submitting your first film or navigating your next release, Call for Entries is about understanding how this world really works.
