Creating a Life Through Film: Passion, Purpose, and the Power of Storytelling
Description
In today’s episode, I sit down with my brother Kai, a Radio-Television-Film major at UT Austin, to explore the real-world challenges and creative triumphs of navigating film school. We talk about his unconventional journey from English major to documentary director, the importance of building a strong creative network, and how he’s developing his voice as a filmmaker despite financial and institutional barriers. Kai offers a behind-the-scenes look at student filmmaking—from directing on tight budgets to mastering every department on set—and opens up about what it means to tell authentic stories that connect. Whether you’re interested in film production, creative careers, or the student filmmaker experience, this episode is packed with insight, heart, and the kind of honesty you won’t find in a brochure.
