    • The Freelance DOP Life
      Sep 25 2025

      What does it really take to make it as a freelance cinematographer in today's market?

      In this episode, we sit down with Director of Photography Cody Preston, whose journey from childhood stop-motion films to shooting major commercials proves there's no single path to success. We talk about his early start as an extra in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, running a clothing business in his twenties, and the decision to focus on freelance cinematography over creating his own production company.

      We also dive into the behind-the-scenes of his recent documentary work with Destination BC, featuring adaptive sports across British Columbia, and a technically demanding Terra Footwear commercial that pushed creative boundaries. Plus his approach to networking authentically with directors and why craft-first thinking builds sustainable careers.

      Plus: Grandma Baba's mysterious career connections, crash cams, and why focusing on the work attracts the right collaborators.

    • Freelancing in a New Country
      Sep 9 2025

      What happens when you leave everything behind to start over as a freelancer in a new country?

      In this episode, we sit down with documentary filmmaker ⁠Balazs Horvath⁠, who left his life as a punk rock musician and lawyer in Budapest to rebuild his creative career in Vancouver from scratch. We talk about working construction to afford his first camera, finding community through online courses, and the cultural shock of Canadian work culture, plus what it really takes to transition from immigrant outsider to trusted creative collaborator.

      We also explore Balazs' current passion projects documenting fascinating Vancouver characters like community hero Leona Green and the nomadic "Dirty Kids" street performer subculture, and how he finds stories worth telling.

      Plus: Would You Rather, creative tools, and why being genuinely kind matters more than perfect work in Canada.
