  • Incredibly Candid Conversations with Working Filmmakers

    There are so many filmmaking podcasts out there these days, but this is the only one I’ve encountered that explores the prospect of making a career in filmmaking sustainable as a lifestyle. It’s not about gear or process or technique, it’s about the often unspoken struggles that make a career in filmmaking so difficult and so rewarding. Incredibly candid conversations from some of the biggest names out there today.

At this point there are dozens of wounded past collaborators bobbing in their wake. Several have been threatened with lawsuits for various petty reasons.
