“This podcast is not for you if you work in the industry and want meaningful, reasonably deep conversations. These guys are hard to listen to.

On set, you mostly get to observe their physical approach to the craft with possibly a little insight into their thought process. This podcast is great because it gives you the other side of that coin:...”Read full review »

“I love the cinematography podcast, it’s probably the most interesting thing I listen too. That being said, I often get so inspired by the interviews that I find myself drifting off into my own ideas of films I can make, often missing half of the interview and Needing to rewind!”
