I started listening to these guys back in 2016. It was their 50th episode entitled “A Tale of Two Orens.” Six years later, they’re well over 300 episodes and I’m still listening. It’s a podcast for erstwhile filmmakers hungry to “make it.” The ironic beauty of this successful podcast is that Matt

I think I’ve listened to at least 50 episodes and I find value in everyone. There are so many tips and pieces of inside knowledge that you probably can’t get anywhere else when it comes to commercial directing. On a programming note I love the flow that comes with each episode. A lot of film...Read full review »

THIS is what filmmakers need these days. Matt and Oren are honest and transparent with their show. It makes my day every week, I wish it was a daily podcast. If you’re a filmmaker worth their salt—you’ll listen to Just Shoot It Pod!

Listened to your Russia episode. As a fellow Russian, I must say there is a ton of choice for food in Moscow, including vegetarian places. But because we are very hospitable people, the organizers brought the guy to all the fancy places. You should have asked the translator for good mid-price...Read full review »
