    Another favorite filmmaking podcast
    I listen to a lot of filmmaking podcasts and I was weary to add one to my ever growing list of need-to-listen. However, I was hooked just a few episodes in and now I’ve binge-listened the whole way through. Worth every second!

    The Actor/Writer/Producer with Colette Friedman
    I am a huge fan of Colette Friedman. Took her story development class once and turned right around and took it a second time. She helped me break through a writers’ block that had my treatment in a dusty folder for some 28 years and now it’s a complete screen play with only a little more polishing needed before I let it see the light of day. I’ve been working as a visual artist in the industry for decades and had no idea where to start with my story. She goes straight to what’s needed and is amazingly thorough and talented.

    Amazing inspirational Interview with a remarkable person who is multitalented
    This interview has a lot to say about writing, life, family. Take 30 minutes to listen to a very wise author, professor, athletic, loving person. You will be happier and more productive if you listen and listen to this wise woman.

    Working with a Casting Director and Staying Healthy
    Loved this episode with Bonnie. Great advice as insight. Made me want to work with Bonnie because her mindset and boundaries come from a place of knowing herself and mastering enoughness. Thank you for doing this podcast. I love the idea of “trail and talk.”

  • Valeria Sweet
    👏👏👏👏👏
    Thanks for bringing intuition to the foreground and focus! There have been so many times I’ve been questioned by fear-based minds when I knew for certain production would come together without having the knowledge of exactly how. And it would like puzzle pieces come together in the most perfect way! Keep believing, keep being creative, and keep being intuitive!

    Jenn Page’s Podcast - My first review
    Appreciate the opportunity to listen to the Podcast, and respond today. What a wonderful discussion between two talented and dedicated Filmmakers/ Directors. The insightful revelation that Film Festivals are not always the best way to release you’re productions, but to initially release ‘Online’ first. The audience is wider, and with Social Media access, the chances of having a decision maker view your film increases exponentially. Appreciated how the director shared how she behaves on-set, when invited to shadow a director. Film and TV Sets are busy sometimes chaotic environments, and when production wraps for the day, then you may have an opportunity to speak with the director in a calm setting. Jenn Page has an energetic and welcoming interview style, and asks well formed questions. The subject is able to respond with meaningful answers without feeling hurried. I throughly enjoyed this Podcast and have Subscribed today for that reason. Go Jenn Page Go! Requesting permission to Share this site with my Social Media friends. Respectfully, Nicholas Chase
  • Prod Jenna
    LOVE IT!
    As a producer for over a decade now, I can tell you that intuition is one of (if not,) the most important parts of creating a successful project. Along with that, inspiration and hearing stories of how other filmmakers have done it are crucial. This podcasts has all of that plus some. And, Jenn is just a fantastic person with the heart of a helper. Definitely take a listen.

    Great insight
    I really enjoyed the insight provided in this podcast. Great look into the industry and the professionals working to get shows and films made.
  • MaliaMiglino
    So Inspirational!!!!!
    It’s hard to find sources where filmmakers *really* talk about the struggles of this industry and this podcast tackles that issue in a super raw way but also reminds you it’s not all doom and gloom, that hard works pays off and even if it doesn’t, it’s ok. 10/10 recommend!
