What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Host Chris brings on indie filmmakers, actors, writers, and others to interview them about projects they have worked/are working on. This is a great way to give voice to artists who don’t have as big of a platform as mainstream and/or big-budget movies and movie makers. On top of that, if you’re starved for new content, listening to this podcast can provide a long list of recommendations for your movie night. This is a pod that is accessible to long time film buffs and casual moviegoers alike.

Potato Lady Bex · Mar 2022

Really enjoyed the interview with Serah. Really interesting how she’s drawn her emotions as an independent actor. The personal stories are great with the interviews. The host is fantastic! Intriguing and entertaining from beginning to end. Looking forward to more episodes!

RP Productions · Jan 2022

This show is absolutely perfect. You have a winning formula stick with it. It manages to be both entertaining and educating. I have learned a lot and hope to learn more. The hosting is on point and the subject matter is great! I would definitely recommend this show!

Ab2793 · Dec 2021

This show is really unique in Chris' approach to getting to talk to people directly involved in filmmaking. While I'm not well versed in the industry I still have a great time learning all about what goes on in making films.
