Indie game developer here, 10+ years, multiple commercial titles - this rings true. I mostly spend time in communities where people are in a similar work situation, yet producing different products (programming, art, film etc).

This isn't to disparage intentional game dev communities. They certainly have their place. But often these communities are for hobbyists who want to share screenshots of their A* implementation in Godot (again, that's great), which isn't really useful to me these days.

Oh! I never thought of talking to indie film makers, but the cross over in process seems to be hugely similar. If you don't mind me asking, how have you found their reception to you? And, as cinema has become a large part of selling games (even indie ones) given that "sizzle reels" seem to account for a decent amount of interest, have these meet ups lead to collaboration?
