In our series with TV actor, producer, and writer Sarah Randall Hunt (1923), we explore her wealth of experience on the delicate art of communication between directors and actors.

How can directors can give more effective notes that will enhance performances rather than confuse actors? Sarah reveals her most powerful direction, how to help actors connect to what truly matters to their character, and what drives authentic, compelling performances.

From practical advice for directors, to seasoned performers and newcomers alike, we explore the relationship between technical precision and creative freedom. Listen now to hear our practical techniques that will elevate your next production and create a more harmonious set environment where both technical excellence and artistic expression can thrive.

In the world of social media, and fast-paced journalism, knowledge is abound. But with all the noise, finding the right information is near impossible. Especially if you’re a creative working in independent film.

Produced by Cinematography For Actors, the Indiewood podcast aims to fix that. This is a podcast about indie filmmakers and the many hats we wear in order to solve problems before, during, and after production.

Every month, award-winning Writer/Director Yaroslav Altunin is joined by a different guest co-host to swap hats, learn about the different aspects of the film industry, and how to implement all you learn into your work.
"We learn from indie filmmakers so we can become better filmmakers. Because we all want to be Hollywood, but first we have to be Indiewood."
