Listen "What Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Taught Me About Filmmaking"
Episode Synopsis
I recently saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at LA’s Pantages Theatre — and while this isn’t a review, I have to say: it blew my mind. Watching it felt like witnessing real magic. The lighting, the practical effects, the precision — it all made me rethink how we approach live-action filmmaking. In this episode, I reflect on the lessons filmmakers can learn from theater, especially when it comes to committing to an idea and creating illusions without relying on CGI. If you’re a storyteller or creative, this one’s for you.🔔 Subscribe for more movie reviews, storytelling insights, and creative discussions! Want deeper breakdowns?
