Description

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, plus 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 joins the Make It Podcast to "clear the set" by sharing her top three films and delving into how cinema has shaped her worldview and career aspirations. She reveals how "Apocalypse Now" helped her understand a Vietnam War veteran in her family, "Cry Freedom" sparked her social activism at age eight, and "Cooley High" inspired her coming-of-age perspective on filmmaking. The conversation showcases Smith's passion for storytelling that creates social change and her unique perspective as a filmmaker who values both artistic integrity and meaningful impact.

We also talk about:

• The embarrassing film confession that even industry professionals have (Rear Window)

• Why Tia believes Baby Driver shouldn't have been produced

• The business psychology behind nostalgia-driven reboots and remakes

• Favorite cheat day meals and regional food preferences

• An incredible shark cage diving experience in South Africa that connects back to Jaws
