Today on the Coda Podcast, I’m joined by Kurtis Smith of K.Smith Films — a filmmaker who blends pure creativity with serious technical craft.

While Kurtis creates high-energy short-form content that lights up his social feeds, his true masterpieces are his long-form wedding films. These are immersive, emotionally rich stories built with intention — shaped by his background as a musician and his ability to craft intricate, sound scores that give his work a signature depth and rhythm.

In this episode, we break down how Kurtis approaches both ends of the spectrum — from punchy, viral-ready short form to the expansive long-form edits he’s become known for. And we even dive into how he managed to pull off a same-day edit at a wedding — the planning, the pressure, and the creative chaos behind it.
