Houry Magarian, Charles Cartwright, and Jonathan Scott
An old guest from our first season, Jaime Torres, is back! Since moving to New York, he’s been working in the film industry on the East Coast, and we catch up to talk about the biggest differences between filming in LA and NYC. We also dive into how AI might already be shaping — and threatening — the film industry, sharing our personal takes on how it could be used against us rather than for our advantage.

Season 7 Episode 9 Houry and Charles
In this episode, it’s just the hosts! Houry and Charles catch up and dive into a lively discussion on the age-old question: Is film school worth it? We share our honest takes on whether it’s the right path for building a career in the industry. We also look back at our very first gear purchases and debate what we’d buy today if we were starting fresh—and why.
If you’ve ever wondered about the value of film school or what gear matters most when you’re just starting out, this one’s for you.

Season 7 Episode 8 Carlos Villaverde
This time on the podcast Houry sits down with Carlos, a DP whose journey into filmmaking began in the most unexpected place — the military. After first discovering film in Florida, he realized he didn’t want to spend his life in uniform. So, he pivoted: film school, his first camera, and slowly finding his way onto sets.
We talk about the moment he truly fell in love with the craft — watching a DP and director light a room and realizing this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. We also dive into how technology has shaped and continues to reshape the filmmaking process, and what that means for the future of cinema, as well as his first ever set experience. Press play and become inspired!
