About Your life in film

Each week I invite a guest to talk about their life in film. Your Life in Film is a thought-provoking podcast that dives deep into the personal stories, emotions, and memories behind the movies that define us. Each episode features filmmakers, actors, writers, and passionate movie lovers sharing how specific films have influenced their lives, inspired their creativity, and shaped their worldview. Hosted with warmth, humor, and cinematic insight, Your Life in Film isn’t just about what’s on screen — it’s about the connection between film and identity. From cult classics and blockbuster hits to indie gems and forgotten favorites, this podcast celebrates the power of storytelling and the universal language of cinema. Whether you’re a casual movie fan or a die-hard cinephile, Your Life in Film invites you to revisit the films that made you laugh, cry, and dream. With questions including, What was the first film you saw at the cinema? What film did you watch over and over again as a kid? What was the first 18-rated film you saw and how old were you? What was the first film you watched that you considered grown up? What film holds a special place in your heart? What’s your controversial opinion on a famous film? What have you been watching recently?
