  • When it comes to podcasts about the making of movies, this podcast is worth the try about the filmmaking process, what are the challenges and hurdles that come by, how they are overcome and what it is like being on the set with the cast and crew in the business. It is for anyone who wants to learn the details of the film business and what it means to be a filmmaker not just in mainstream films, but also documentary films, indies, and episodic television shows is covered as well.
