Film Filosophy breaks down the philosophies and concepts of filmmaking and the structures of the American film industry. Each episode takes a single idea — a systemic structure, an internal obstacle, a cultural box — and works it through with someone who has run into it from the inside: writers, directors, showrunners, producers, strike captains and scholars.
Every episode has a companion bonus for Patreon members, where the guest brings a film clip of their own choosing and talks through why it matters.
