With 2025 upon us, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look back at the first full 12 months of the podcast and give you a 2024 year round up. Chat about some of lessons I've learned from speaking to industry professionals, career advice, some tips from Indie Filmmakers and also some of my recommendations from the last 12 months.
We also hear from some of the contributors to the podcast and friends of the podcast with their top recommendations from 2024. Enjoy!
