I recommend Hope For Film (Ted Hope’s newsletter) for its rare combination of deep experience and genuine empathy. Ted speaks not just as a veteran producer, but as a steward of independent film — pushing for a healthier, more equitable system while still celebrating storytelling. His insights about sustaining artistic integrity, navigating financing challenges, and reimagining ecosystem structures resonate with anyone who builds creative capital from scratch.

I recommend New View (Michael Wallace’s newsletter) for its sharp blend of strategy and storytelling — it’s rare to find writing that both challenges your mindset and gives you practical business insight. He consistently weaves thoughtful ideas about focus, perseverance, and finance into narratives that speak to creators and operators alike.
