The MAKE IT Podcast

Making It: Creating Films That Heal and Liberate with Tia A. Smith


Listen Later

Hello, Hello!


Make It friends and family, Chris here to announce that starting today, with the episode you are about to hear, we’ll be publishing our segments and bonus content on this feed daily. 


Why are we doing this? Because there’s a good chance you’re already listening to our episodes over the span of the week, we decided to publish our segments from each long-form episode to make it easier for you to enjoy the entire thing. 


Also, Nick and I are always looking for new ways to spice things up, meet our audience in the middle, and improve the show for you. There you have it, daily goodness in segments and bonus content from Make It. 


Of course, we’ll still be releasing long-form episodes every two weeks on Friday—that hasn’t changed. Thanks as always for your support, and be sure to let us know what you think on any of our platforms at Beacons.

Filmmaker Tia A. Smith shares her powerful definition of "making it" as creating work that heals, uplifts, and liberates audiences while building a communal filmmaking experience. She emphasizes her commitment to telling transformative stories that allow people to see themselves, forgive themselves, and dream again. The conversation concludes with Tia discussing her vision for creating legacy art that outlives herself and her goal of building a global creative footprint with complete creative autonomy.


We also talk about:

• The importance of bringing your community along in the filmmaking journey

• Creating films that transform and change lives rather than just entertain

• Building integrity and freedom into creative work

• The significance of audience ownership in storytelling

• Developing a global creative presence as a filmmaker
