Host Nick Stelloh catches up with long time friend and industry veteran Sam Pyke of Hill Shadow Pictures. Nick has worked with Sam for about a decade—to unpack the part of hunting filmmaking nobody explains: how you actually get your first real opportunities and keep them.

We get into Sam’s break-in story, why most paid work comes from a small circle of relationships and referrals, and the mindset shift that separates a “camera guy” from someone producers trust: being multi-versed and learning to shoot for the edit—not just capture what’s in front of you.
