I had been searching for podcasts tailored towards independent film-makers and Shoot From the Heart was EXACTLY what I was looking for and more!
Having recently completed a script, I was looking for tactical information on next best steps w/ it.
Her show delivered! With episodes on selling/optioning your script, self-producing, raising funds, etc, it’s a great resource.

Diane gives the advice I DONT WANT TO HEAR, which is exactly the advice I NEED TO HEAR. Can’t wait to try and implement the ideas she shares within my own screenplay, to revive it to bring it life! Thank you, Diane, for making it harder and better 😊
Trying to forge a creative career can be a hard and lonely road. Diane Bell has a great gift for helping people feel that they have the right to succeed. Some of her podcasts are practical: the nuts and bolts of things like screenplays and film festivals. Some of them deal with intangible barriers, like imposter syndrome. Whatever the subject, Diane is the cheerleader you never knew you needed. She is full of energy, frankness and kindness. I’m glad to see she’s back after a break from podcastin... more
I found Diane on Instagram and began following her. The IG posts were always a source of wisdom and warmth. I was happy to find these podcasts. Downloaded a few and never listened. Just found them again this week and listened to an older pod from the start of the pandemic - about how it matters what you believe. Exactly what I needed to hear at the time. All helpful information and communicated beautifully. Very happy I found this.
Beautifully presented information - thought provoking and excellent tools to implement.
thanks Diane! I will dig in for the rest of the year to set me up for the best 2023!
