Longer-form cinema interviews diving into filmmaking craft including acting, directing, editing, composing and so much more. I grew up watching DVD features and I always wanted to create a show that can be similar to that idea of giving audiences an understanding of the hard work and dedication that goes into filmmaking.

  • Excellent Filmmaking Podcast

    Kevin’s passion for the art of filmmaking is the driving force in curating this fantastic series. The interviews are far more complex and personal than the atypical podcast format usually leans toward - featuring meaningful conversations for any film enthusiast (or not). There are few critics in this industry who demonstrate a real understanding of the craft, or who even care to trifle with the foundation of Kevin’s perpetual curiosity. Bravo.

    Kevin is 100% the best thing to happen to film media of our time. His questions are deep and meaningful, and the way he connects with each and every person he interviews is something I’ve never seen (or heard) before.

  • Excellent interviewer

    If you love movies but more importantly love it when the interviewer genuinely loves the job, the industry, and can actively listen and ask just outstanding questions. This is the podcast. Seriously Kevin’s interview skills are masterful bc he listens and yet gets the person to tell us engaging answers. It’s a wonderful thing when you get this dynamic of active listener and engaged conversation. If you don’t already know Kevin reviews movies which are also fantastic.
