This week we have just one confession, but it's a wild one! It comes to us from someone who has been around the block and has had time to process everything they've been through. Littered throughout this hilarious story are red flags all of us have seen and blown right past in the name of working in this industry. 

Our shoutout comes to us from Amy Baklini, who gives a shout out to indie film producer Matt Miller.
