Great selection of filmmaker and questions. I really loved the Faya Dayi episode and listening to many episodes since. The questions are very good and conversation insightful. even if i haven't yet seen the film, I still get something out of hearing about the process. It’s introduced new films and new filmmakers to me. And even though they cover art driven films, the tone is friendly and welcoming. Not cold and elitist.
Haven’t come across any other podcast that gives this level of thoughtful attention to the field of creative documentary. Really great listen. Thanks for your hard work!
I just discovered you from your Berlin podcast episode and have been listening to previous episodes because your film selections are really excellent. Great work to your team. Looking forward to the next one too.
Very educational. It really takes documentary and makes it more interpersonal and I feel like I’m in conversation with the filmmaker. Every topic and every documentary is so intricate and different but it also speaks to the universality of art and the creative. Also love how the questions are asked and the way they are tailored to the nature of each episode!! Amazing work!! Can’t wait to see what else will be published 😊😊😊
Love from Norway
Thank you for making these episodes! It's been helpful to listen while taking a break from thinking of my own project and take in inspiration from others.
