Episode Six of the Mighty Filmmakers Podcast introduces us to Nick Skaugen, the producer behind the award-winning feature film, “Row” (2025).
Recorded during the Raindance Film Festival, this episode gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to produce an independent psychological survival thriller - from financing and team-building, location logistics, and beyond.
“Row” went on to win Best UK Feature at Raindance, and Nick’s grounded, strategic approach to independent filmmaking played a crucial role in its success.
Joined by our hosts Josh Farrell (Screenwriter & Director) and Asatuurs Keim (Director, Cinematographer & Founder of Mighty Filmmakers), Nick walks us through his producing philosophy and shares key insights for emerging producers looking to bring ambitious projects to life.
Whether you're an aspiring producer or just curious about how independent films are made from the ground up, this episode is packed with actionable advice and real-world experience.
