The Break Breakdown: A Podcast from Queens Bird Films

Courtney continues to find the most fascinating stories from endlessly interesting people! During a pandemic when artists, especially, have faced months and months of fear, frustration and uncertainty, Courtney has given them a platform for their voices to be heard. Bravo to your interview skills and also to everyone who told their stories with such candor and courage.

I look forward to each new episode of The Break Breakdown because I know that I will learn something, I will meet the most interesting people, and I will come away from it enriched and encouraged. You do not have to be an artist to benefit from listening. The stories are real and touching and will resonate will your soul, no matter what your life journey is. It is definitely time well-spent.

Courtney’s perspective challenges the conventional way of doing things and it’s a breath of fresh air. Extremely thoughtful conversations that are both informative and soul-nourishing!

Which happens to be right where you are right now. This is a really touching and candid look at the making of a self funded, micro-budget film. The stories are personal and technical, beautifully interlacing firsthand experience with inside industry gold. But the act of filmmaking, while the spine of this work, is by no means the guts and heart. Courtney masterfully gets her listeners to face some serious introspection, goal setting, and most of all grace. This podcast really fleshes out how to make something beautiful that suits you, in-spite of everything that doesn’t, because you have to. Because no one else has the means of making it but you. Brava.
