Join us as we chat with writer, producer, and TV actor JJ Hawkins, as we learn how to navigate a career in television, overcome career obstacles, and share our adventures creating the web series "Stupid Cupid" in the bustling streets of New York City.

We spotlight JJ's journey as a trans actor moving from humble theater beginnings to breaking barriers with a role in CBS's "The Red Line." Hear firsthand about the challenges and breakthroughs that come with staying true to one's identity in an industry that’s not always kind to authenticity. JJ’s story is more than just a career narrative; it’s a powerful reminder of how embracing who you are can lead to opportunities that are as groundbreaking as they are rewarding.

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."
