The Podcast

On Film Jones, we explore the “ins” and “outs” of film – its impact on culture and culture’s impact on it. We have thought-provoking conversations with filmmakers and film lovers covering mainstream, indie, and experimental films with a focus on cinema by underrepresented filmmakers.

Film Jones is for…

• Film Nerds – People who geek out over random film trivia.

• Cinephiles – People who are well-versed in cinema movements and enjoy critical film analysis.

• Channel Surfers – People who are immediately overwhelmed when they open their streaming apps or channel guide. 

• Pretty Much Everyone – Anyone who is open to and interested in every aspect of film and ready to deepen their viewing habits.
