Best of the 2018 No Film School Podcast Interviews, Part 1

Published: Jan. 7, 2019, 8 a.m.

Depending on what stage of your career you\u2019re at, you can learn as much from someone who's gotten a couple shorts into some major festivals as you can from a director like Yorgos Lanthimos. It\u2019s in this realization where The No Film School Podcast really shines.\n\nFor that reason, we treat our guests with the same level of respect across all boards, no matter who they are or how prestigious their film may be. Let\u2019s face it, we are all filmmakers who have made, or are trying to make movies under difficult circumstances. And one of the best ways to learn how to do that is by listening to the stories of those who have struggled through both success and failure. For a true artist both experiences hold immense value.\n\nOur countdown this year features just as many big names as it does incredible advice. Over the next three weeks, you\u2019ll hear from the likes of Lanthimos, Jeremy Saulnier, Mike Leigh, Steve Yeun, Debra Granik and more. I\u2019ll be leading you through some of our best clips of 2018, so if you haven\u2019t heard all of our interview podcasts, these episodes will be a great overview of those pearls of advice that may end up helping you down the road. \n\nThis week's features guests Claudette Godfrey (SXSW Programmer), Jim Cummings (Thunder Road), Kirsten Lepore (Hi Stranger), Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert (DANIELS) and Sam Morill (Vimeo).\nLearn more about your ad choices.
