  • Amazing for filmmakers

    I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve been working in film since 2020 and had gone from BG to directing award winning films and always wanting to learn perspectives of each crew member and this gives you an intimate, in depth peekaboo at every department of film and what it takes to make a film but it also shows how different each person’s journey has been showing that anyone with a true love and passion can make it. It’s been incredibly inspiring for me.

    Thank you so much and please keep doing w... more
