When someone asks, “Who are you?”, do you struggle to answer? In this episode, I share a powerful life exercise given to me by director Jude Weng (Only Murders in the Building, Black-ish) that goes far beyond job titles or hobbies. It’s called the three eulogies exercise—writing your own eulogy from the perspective of a loved one, a colleague, and a close friend. This simple yet profound practice reveals what truly matters to you and serves as a compass for how you want to live. I walk through the steps, reflect on the emotional impact, and explain why confronting our mortality can be one of the most clarifying things we do.🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions!

The Screenwriting Trick That Changed How I Write Scenes 4:06

for 3 dager siden4:06

4:06

Screenwriting isn’t about stuffing your script with detail—it’s about clarity, rhythm, and impact. In this episode, I share an eye-opening writing exercise passed down from director Jude Weng (Only Murders in the Building, Black-ish), where students compare what they think a scene looks like in a script versus how it was actually written. Spoiler: less is more. I break down how to do this exercise yourself, what it reveals about overwriting, and why this method will sharpen your screenwriting instincts faster than most traditional advice.🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions!

My Travel Packing Method (That Keeps Me Sane Every Time) 2:41

for 7 dager siden2:41

2:41

Packing for a trip doesn’t have to be a stress fest. In this episode, I share my simple, low-stress travel packing strategy: I start tossing things into a suitcase a week before the trip — no pressure, just instinct. Then, the night before I leave, I review everything, cut what I don’t need, fill in any gaps, and lock it down. It’s flexible, mindful, and helps me avoid that last-minute “I forgot something” panic. Whether you’re a chronic overpacker or always scrambling last minute, give it a try — or tell me what works for you. How do you pack? Do you plan it all or wing it? Let’s compare notes. 🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions! Want deeper breakdowns? Join me on Patreon or Substack for exclusive content!

No, Ted. You’re Not Saving Hollywood | Why Theaters Still Matter and Netflix Isn’t the Future 16:36

for 15 dager siden16:36

16:36

I explore Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' recent claim that the traditional movie theater model is "outmoded" and that Netflix is "saving Hollywood" ( https://variety.com/2025/film/news/netflix-ceo-ted-sarandos-movie-theaters-outdated-1236376565/ ). I dive into how streaming platforms have reshaped audience behavior, impacted creative sustainability, and transformed films from cultural events into disposable content.This isn’t about rejecting innovation—it’s about examining who benefits when disruption becomes the goal over quality.I’ll reflect on why theaters still matter, the irreplaceable nature of shared experiences, and why the future of film deserves more than algorithm-driven entertainment. This episode is an exploration of what's at stake for filmmakers, audiences, and the stories that move us. 🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions!
