Danielle Harris’ ep brought me here and I stayed around and binged the rest of the pod and am now a weekly listener. I’m also a filmmaker / recovering actor and appreciate their depth, de-glamorizing the process, and how infectious they make filmmaking feel, despite the frustrating and ephemeral nature of it all — especially in 2025.
Great season! Can’t wait for January!
