Über diesen Titel

In this first episode, I sit down with Warren - a director/DP working between Wellington and Miami - for a real conversation about what filmmaking actually looks like before the "perfect" version exists.

We talk about learning on set vs. film school, why lighting is the difference between amateur and cinematic, and how small-budget crews solve big problems in real time. We also go behind the scenes of Distortion -filming in the Florida woods at night, building practical gear, shaping moonlight, and surviving mosquitoes while trying to keep the production value high.

If you're starting your filmmaking journey (or you're deep in it), this episode is a reminder that the craft isn't theory - it's decisions, teamwork, and doing the work.

Topics covered:

  • Director/DP life and building experience through real sets

  • Mentorship vs. trying to do everything alone

  • "Fix it in post" and what you can't actually fix

  • Night exteriors: moonlight strategy and controlling practicals

  • Distortion BTS: practical vests, forest lighting, safety, and logistics

  • Gear talk: cameras, lenses, and avoiding "GAS" (gear addiction)
