    Sam Levy - A genius!
    Finding an episode of Sam Levy talking about “Lady Bird,” “Frances Ha,” and “While We’re Young” was a dream! The first two are my favorite coming-of-age films, and being able to hear how the cinematographer was influenced before and while making this project a reality confirms the depth and expertise I attribute to the artist.

    KID CUDI | ALAN POUL
    As a big Kid Cudi fan, his music itself speaks to his audiences, but also produces these visuals and incites imagination within all of us. Then, when he came out with the animated films to coincide with vibrant stories being told, everything seemed to come to life. To hear the inspiration, how it stemmed from reading and breathing these comics, to making his own, is simply gold. “A broad understanding of humanity”: necessary for artistry, for encapsulating written people, their life, their culture, and their language. But, also necessary for being human, having empathy and the ability to accept.

    Informative and Interesting
    This podcast provided new insights into filmmaking that I didn’t know about before. This podcast takes us behind the scenes and shows us how film is a true expression of art and emotion. Filmmaking is also a lot more complicated than I thought, so it was very cool to learn about the process.

    Thought Provoking and Eye-opening to the Artistic Expression of the Cinematic Arts
    I really loved listening to the stories of cinematographers, directors, writers, and actors on the FILM AND TV podcast series on The Creative Process. Not only am I inspired, but I have learnt that the freedom to make art is essential to our democracy. From addressing social injustices and advocating for change, the art of filmmaking and media has the power to bring powerful stories and activism to life. The Creative Process broadened my horizons and perspectives in the world of filmmaking, and I can’t wait to dive into more.

    Such great conversations
    This is truly my favorite channel by the Creative Process. The diverse array of conversations surrounding film never cease to interest me, and I greatly enjoy getting to hear from so many different voices in the industry. From actors, to directors, to cinematographers, and more, there are so many interesting stories to hear that make me excited about the industry.

    Top podcast!
    The guests that come on are absolutely fascinating. There are too many examples of people I love that I can listen to in depth. Max Richter was great!
  • Faithhoangg
    Brings cinema to life

  • Milenaroz
    Inspiring and Informative
    I really love these episodes with guests that are in the industry. The conversations are very real and engaging in discussing the experiences of these filmmakers. I really enjoy listening their stories in how the came to their career today, along with how they use their creativity in their storytelling. I appreciate also when the guests would open up about their own experiences on how they relate to their project or how they put themselves into their craft. Really amazing podcast!

    The Creative Process—Film and TV
    As with all of the Creative Process’s channels, the multifaceted interviews that this podcast produces fosters a fruitful dialogue between many aspects of arts, culture, and society; compiling the voices of the hosts, co-hosts, anchors, and—foremost—the artists themselves, the Creative Process forges a space that encourages diverse perspectives, a surfeit of artistic approaches, and a commentary on contemporaneous issues, all distinct within the throughline of this project at large! Definitely worth a listen!
  • here_be_ziza
    Eye opening and engaging
    I absolutely love how authentic and eye opening these podcasts are. The love and competence in the craft of these creators is inspiring for young creators like myself. I love how the questions are structured and how passionately the creators talk about their niche areas of expertise One of a kind podcast experience
  • AlwaysInNeedOfCoffee
    Simple Gratification
    Getting to slip into the minds of different creatives, learning more about their roles and processes, gives an immense sense of gratification. I love getting to hear from the cinematographers who’ve worked on projects I genuinely enjoy watching, but listening to writers, producers, and showrunners explore their own processes and mindsets has helped shift my own way of thinking and my approach for personal projects. There’s a level of depth and personal touch to these stories that I always enjoy hearing.
  • Henie Zhang
    Healing
    I’ve been recovering from an injury lately, which has made certain forms of activity inconvenient and others impossible. I’d listened to this channel before, but recently much more so to get recommendations for new film/TV/music to enrich the extra time I have during recovery. What I found even more valuable were the experiences of the people behind the media, which resonated with mine across their creations. There are too many examples, but listening to Etgar Keret deliberate his relationship with pain, and Max Richter contemplate the importance of silence and the syncing of mind with physiology, have made me rethink the newfound stasis of my days and how to live with it and even turn it into a creative force. I felt less alone. And of course it is wonderful to discover more about the narrative, musical, cinematographic, etc. philosophy behind a work I love, such as Arrival (with Max Richter again - I’m obsessed with the original Ted Chiang short story and it’s incredible to hear it sonically captured) and Lady Bird (Sam Levy).
  • Skylard2
    Best podcast
    This podcast really goes into depth about the film and tv industry. From the cinematography to the process of writing I left with so much new knowledge about so many different artists and directors. I really enjoyed the most recent podcast with director John Patrick Shanley. The podcast was engaging and I have found something new listening to it every time.

    Inspiring Interviews
    Some of the highest quality interviews I’ve heard relating to film and television production! I’m a huge film buff, and these discussions really engaged with a medium I love while also making it seem approachable. Huge shout out to the interviewer for asking insightful questions and also giving the guests room to speak. Can’t wait to listen to more episodes!
  • 29clairet
    Great Channel!
    A great way to learn about film and television through the voices of the people who create it. Interesting behind the scenes knowledge of favorite shows and movies! Plus it is cool to know about the intention behind certain shows, especially ones that aim to have social impact

    Fantastic Films and the People Who Make Them
    I adore how this podcast covers such a wide range of the film and television industry. Listening provides great insight into all of the aspects of filmmaking, making this podcast a great tool for film artists and a fun listen for fans.

    Great variety
    I appreciate the variety of people and topics not just in the film and television industry!
  • Lyssyjordan
    Discovering so many creatives!
    It’s always amazed me how masterful the art of filmmaking is. It takes a collaborative team to develop all of the details that go into this craft, so it’s nice to see more people highlighted in the behind-the-scenes production side of film and tv.
  • jskasjnsnajaja1233
    An Insider View
    I appreciate being able to listen to the perspectives of the many speakers featured, and saw how that influenced their creative approach. Broadcasting and publicizing insight from the artists themselves helps us as the audience understand the meaning behind their work, and The Creative Process does a wonderful job with this!
  • ajhkopYuoljjnl

    Very informative insights and in-depth analysis into the meaning and inspiration behind films.

    AWESOME!
    The Creative Process podcast is amazing!!! It gives its listeners the chance to hear from such inspiring individuals in the Film industry. I listened to the interview with Debra Fisher and hearing her talk about her creative process, professional approach and advice she has for young writers was so inspiring. Highly recommend!
  • tramsisson
    Just always something new to find…
    All in all just a great collection of content for anybody even slightly interested in the inner workings of film. Every episode goes in depth and really gives you a complete picture of the production and creation of some of these movies. There’s enough recognizable names to find something that you’re familiar with, as well as interviews spotlighting upcoming directors and just highlighting great films that may have flown under the radar. Definitely worth checking up on if you’re looking for some new films to watch.
  • Inshara a.
    Highly recommend!
    I really love the Creative Process’ work. Arts and culture is so holistically covered in this show and I really appreciate hearing the thoughts of so many people I admire. The interviews themselves are wonderfully conducted as well. As a film buff, I loved so many episodes!
  • alex broshman 100
    Great way to learn through creativity and curiosity
    Though I am not a film junkie, I find this podcast extremely alluring in the way that it grabs you through your own curiosity. They say that a state of curiosity or creativity fuel learning and focus. I believe that’s why I find myself getting lost in this podcast. Great way to learn but to also find your own area of curiosity.
  • Mac gal funny
    Creatives are Everywhere
    This podcast is an excellent way to find art and creativity in every realm of life. Science, math, the humanities—they all have art and creativity intertwined in them. Creatives are always developing their processes and adding pieces of themselves and their minds to their work, and this podcast exemplifies the beauty of finding art of every part of life. Listen to this podcast to learn about the development of creatives from all fields and walks of life.
  • James C underwood
    Great Introduction!
    I really would not call myself a film buff at all, but these podcast episodes are a great introduction to the industry. You learn about the lives and jobs of some really interesting people in each and every episode. I’m always eager to hear more!
  • chicken2567
    10/10!
    A fantastic way to further understand your favorite cinema. This channel provides a space for films and tv to be explained by the creators. In the Ali Schouten interview its so interesting to her her story of how she came to be the youngest female paramount producer! Which is amazing, but also she provides an amazing insight that is hard to attain otherwise!
  • Parker Blumentritt
    Fantastic Podcast Series
    The Creative Process is a fantastic podcast series. I love how each episode has a unique focus and each of the guests have such different backgrounds and perspectives! The breadth of stories, information, and ideas is so vast, and I am always excited to see what each new episode will be about!
  • NYU freshman
    Incredibly Insightful!
    The Creative Process is an awesome podcast to learn more about the ins and outs of the film and TV industry. Personally, I have loved getting to know how different artists approach their work. I can’t wait to listen to more!

    An Overflow of Good Conversation
    I love listening to the Creative Process! They bring so many interesting people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Bestselling and award-winning authors, Emmy-nominated directors, experts in social change—they have it all! I learn so much from this podcast!
  • Greysiegirl
    True to its name
    This podcast is true to its name in the sense that it really does do a deep dive into the creative processes which exist behind leading actors, writers, directors, etc. Whether you’re looking for inspiration yourself, or just interested in the “behind the scenes” of the media that surrounds you, this podcast is for you!
  • Colette Gauthier
    Wonderful
    I have never seen the arts treated as lovingly as this podcast does, and it’s absolutely refreshing. I think it’s easy to overlook the process of art and creation and focus essentially on the product, but hearing these stories outlined from those who’ve dedicated their lives to their work offers beautiful insight on the role that emotion, intelligence, and personal experience plays in their construction. Beautifully done.
  • Florencia Cruz
    Amazing!
    Caroline Thompson’s podcast was very informative. As an aspiring screenwriter, I found this podcast to be incredibly inspiring and interesting. It’s so great to hear about her life story and how she wrote the script of one of my favorite movies, Edward Scissorhands. I love her advice on how if you want to be a screenwriter you should watch movies. I totally agree with her.
  • MegMeg_Cupcakes
    WOW!!

    Amazing Podcast
    This podcast really brings forth discussion opportunities for the arts. I am usually looking forward to seeing what guests they have next and basking in so much creativity. Highly recommended
  • Andrew blue man
    An Appreciated Nuance
    The podcast takes on both fresh and veteran interviews with thought provoking discussion. The podcast market is saturated with a over abundance of a similar “type” of interview or meaningless discussion. This is where The Creative Process distinguishes itself regarding arts, culture, the environment, politics, and science.
  • Lyn G. G.
    Amazing and important work!
    So inspiring, I learn so much every time I listen! I highly recommend this podcast to everyone. You are doing great work here for the world and I think everyone deserves to know about it. The same goes for all of your podcasts!

  • teapre
    Passionate and Insightful
    Listening to those behind the scenes express their creative process through their personal experiences and insights is fascinating. These are the people that are detrimental to the pristine final products film and television deliver us. It's awesome how The Creative Process brings their voices to light!

    Amazing!
