Great podcast👏
Shaun's Bestie

He is a awesome Director, Writer, Producer, and all around good person

We met 3 years ago on a casting call for a show he was producing and directing. We clicked instantly and I have watched him grow and accomplish everything he said he was going to do! Lucky to know him and call him a friend. I’m looking forward to cheering him on when he wins his Grammy!

Intelligent and insightful

This podcast is a pleasure to listen to. The host, Max, asks great questions, is positive and a good listener. The first guest, Shaun Mathis, has such an interesting story. (Love his rationale for co-owning a bar and his remarks about festivals and film markets.) He’s an inspiring example of what’s possible when you go all in. Can’t wait to hear more episodes.

Inspiring

Enjoyed the first episode’s story of a filmmaker who had a vision and made it happen without the ins of film school or even really knowing anyone in the industry. Great reminder of what hard work and commitment can do. Looking forward to future episodes.

Shaun is the man!

So cool to hear his story. I’ve seen a couple of his films and it’s amazing what he’s producing. Need more filmmakers like him around. Also so cool that Filmhub is sponsoring this, I’ve got some films that I just started distributing with them. Great to be in company with Shaun Mathis!
