Great podcasts. Just as great, fun, educational as your channel. Discovered your YouTube early last year. You always give thoughtful movie/tv reviews with your sense of humor which delivers your message for your passion in what your currently in pre production on. Great job with the podcast. Love the insights from some great filmmakers. Speaking of…. Can’t wait for Shelby Oaks 😀

Constant Inspiration

As someone who’s watched Chris for years on YouTube with his movie review channel, I’ve loved to see him now live out his dream as a filmmaker. As an aspiring filmmaker myself, this podcast is exactly the source of inspiration I’ve been looking for. Could not recommend this podcast enough!

Chris Stuckmann possesses a goal of providing personal stories of well-regarded contemporary film directors and producers for anyone hungering to make movies—much less individuals interested in the art of filmmaking.

I wish him much luck in his latest venture!
