Description

Have you ever wondered what it takes to work on Hollywood films?

Post Production Club is a behind-the-scenes podcast about how big budget movies and TV shows are really made – told by the people doing the work.

We talk candidly with editors, vfx artists, and other often unseen rockstars that make movie magic about breaking in, leveling up, and how to build a sustainable life in an industry fueled by storytelling.

This show is for those in post who love filmmaking, care deeply about the work, and want to keep doing it without losing their passion for the craft. Warning: It’ll get pretty niche.

Share with someone who might be interested or just add to your unplayed pile. Either way, welcome to The Club.
