Season 1 Episode 5: I Left the Camera at Home

In this episode I have a great conversation with an extremely talented cinematographer and gaffer, Jared Callan. Jared shares his experiences working on various projects, including our recent collaboration on the short film That's My House, which is currently making rounds on the film festival circuit. The conversation delves into the intricacies of filmmaking, the importance of patience and collaboration on set, and the challenges of balancing corporate work with passion projects.

Jared also reflects on his early days, from his rock star aspirations to discovering his passion for filmmaking and eventual degree from Full Sail University. The episode highlights the value of continuous learning, the significance of building strong relationships on set, and the unpredictable nature of the film industry (like when you forget to bring the camera to set) and the problems you constantly have to solve. Whether you're a seasoned filmmaker or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.

If you have a story to tell and would like to be on a future episode of the podcast, tell me about it.
