Screenwriter and Producer - Michael Box Screenwriter, producer, and musician Michael Box (Echo Eterna) joins Tiberius to talk indie filmmaking—from writing dystopian, neo-noir, and horror stories to producing on a budget and building creative teams. Michael shares the origin of his new project “Speak Easy” (a music-driven dystopia where self-expression is illegal), how ADHD fuels his creativity, and why leadership and collaboration matter as much as camera gear. Stick around for Math Corners (film budgeting math!) and Heart of a Lion (leadership in action). Discussion Points •    What a screenwriter vs. producer actually does on a film •    Why Michael loves dystopian, crime, and horror stories •    The concept behind “Speak Easy” and writing music for the film’s band •    Making movies in Ohio and the realities of indie funding •    Crafting story: starting with concept → characters → worldbuilding •    On-set collaboration, rewrites, and checking ego at the door •    ADHD as a creative superpower (focus, hyper-fixation, and systems) •    Practical math on set: budgets, gear, and light/aperture ratios •    Leadership for filmmakers: communication, conflict resolution, and integrity
