The Circle Take Podcast
Do you remember your first time? Host Jason Schmid has worked with many first time filmmakers and asks his seasoned colleagues what it was like directing their first feature. What transpires is a nuts and bolts discussion on the inner workings of filmmaking with directors looking back on their first experience directing a feature film.
Hi. It’s Jason. I’m the host and creator of The Circle Take. I wanted to let you know that I’ve been working on this for a while now.
Over the past year, I’ve sat down with ten filmmakers to talk about what it was like the very first time they directed a film.
The discussions are frank, unguarded, revealing and full of surprising insights from a wide range of filmmakers. I am really proud of the show, and I hope it can help to inspire the next great filmmaker out there and delight film enthusiasts at the same time.
