A Filmmaker’s Journey
A film student learns the ins and outs of Hollywood in public, sharing his journey through interviews with professionals and chats with his peers.
A hybrid podcast that alternates between two distinct formats. Some episodes feature long-form, career-focused interviews with film industry professionals, from legendary directors to local Las Vegas collaborators. Other episodes are conversational chats between the host and his film school peer, Andrew, where they debate movie news, react to online comments, and rank films and artists in recurring segments.
“The show's core appeal is its 'learning in public' approach. Unlike shows hosted by established veterans, this one is grounded in the real-time journey and questions of a current film student, making the advice feel more immediate and accessible for others on the same path.”
Who hosts this show
Hosted by Warren Camp, a 21-year-old filmmaker from New Orleans currently studying at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). He started the podcast to document his own learning process and help other aspiring filmmakers navigate the path to making a career in the film industry a reality.
