BURLINGTON, Iowa - TelAve -- In an entertainment industry saturated with polished success reels and rehearsed press junkets, veteran film producer, entrepreneur, and athlete representative Alander Pulliam has launched 'Beyond the Script: Stories Behind Independent Film & Music'. Available across Apple Podcasts, Castro, and Spotify, the show delivers a hard-hitting antidote to Hollywood romanticism, exposing the creative chaos, financial landmines, and moral battlegrounds of independent media.

Built from nearly two decades across major record labels, feature film sets, sports management, and venture building, 'Beyond the Script' is engineered for creators who want the unvarnished truth. Pulliam deconstructs the actual mechanics of bringing vision to life—from surviving catastrophic budget overruns and deceptive distribution agreements to navigating NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) sports contracts, personal accountability, and creative sovereignty.

"Too many aspiring filmmakers, recording artists, and athletes are being fed a fairytale by people who have never had skin in the game," said host Alander Pulliam. "They tell you about red carpets and viral moments. Nobody warns you about distribution loopholes that steal your royalties, predatory agents who cost athletes their eligibility, or the exhausting culture of critics hiding behind their own failures. 'Beyond the Script' gives creators the armor, legal literacy, and mental discipline to actually own what they build."

Key focus areas explored on the show include:

The Business of Independent Film: Navigating distribution gatekeepers, intellectual property rights, and salvaging productions when initial budgets and scripts collapse.
Predatory Contracts & NIL: Unpacking agent fine print, collegiate eligibility risks, and athlete monetization traps, drawing from Pulliam's executive leadership at A&A Sports Agency.
Music Industry Realities: An insider critique of major label catalog exploitation and how independent artists build sustainable income without signing away master rights.
