“Most of the independent filmmaking podcasts have fallen by the wayside either due to lack of interest or vision to help filmmakers in the long haul, and I am glad that Noam Kroll is still here and still has a heart to help micro budget filmmakers realize their dream. He is an engaging host and...”Read full review »

“Loved this podcast and it’s message. If your process is to do something because it makes you come alive, make your film and you’ll see if it’s for you. Loved Pete’s comments about how he stays true to himself, even after getting into SXSW.”

“Don’t listen to a lot of podcasts as I find most of them obnoxious with a lot of hosts just talking instead of saying something. Noam is the opposite. He lets the guest speak. Shocker, I know.
His questions are few but highly calculated. He is a great listener which in turn makes him a great...”Read full review »
