Helel Smith: BTS My Debut Film

Judeslist

In this episode, I speak with Helel Smith to peel back the curtain on the trials of filmmaking in our corner of the world. Helel's candid revelations offer a piercing insight into the high-stakes game of filmmaking.
He speaks about the urgency of time and change, framing the artist's journey as a pursuit against the relentless march of the clock. Helel and I dissect the cultural shift necessary for the arts to thrive—where punctuality, dedication, and individual accountability become the pillars of a reimagined society. We're not just talking about making movies; we're talking about molding a culture where creativity isn't just acknowledged but revered.
