In this episode of Finding Your Niche with Neish, I sit down with director, filmmaker, writer, and creative force Isaac Deitz for a powerful conversation on storytelling, faith, creativity, and the audacity it takes to make something from nothing. Isaac opens up about his journey as a filmmaker, his relationship with storytelling, and his mission to challenge traditional ideas of what filmmaking has to look like. From breaking the fourth wall in film to breaking societal norms around who gets to call themselves a filmmaker, this conversation explores the freedom that comes when creatives stop waiting for the perfect equipment, budget, or permission — and start creating with what they have. We also dive into the heart behind KTL, Kick the Ladder, one of Atlanta’s largest growing filmmaking networks and a creative game Isaac developed to push aspiring and seasoned filmmakers to keep building, collaborating, and telling stories in real time. Beyond the art, Isaac shares pieces of his upbringing, his evolving philosophies around Christianity, and how artistic expression has become a deeper source of creativity, spirituality, and self-discovery. This episode peels back the layers of who Isaac is, why he does what he does, and what it really means to live as a storyteller. Because— he is Isaac, and that why he makes films.
