Sean Bakers win is another win at the Oscars for Indies. Gotta love the $6mm budget vs last year winner Oppenheimer. Yes you’ll need to do the heavy lifting to get your project made. No one’s going to do it for you. You also need to know your strengths and weaknesses. Sean Baker can’t do everything and he’s probably got some key people who are familiar project to project. He figured out what he’s good at (a lot) and found talented help to fill in the gaps.

Interesting about YouTube. Would you also recommend social media posting during prep and shoot and post (pre release that is) on YouTube before release to build audience and social and algorithmic awareness ?

It certainly can't hurt! Especially if you can manage all the content posting or have someone who can do it for you.

It's the best of times and the worst of times to be a writer! I was wrong about Demi, but I think I'm right about that.
