I remember sitting down to watch Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark with my grandpa as a kid, the magic of the silver screen unfolding before my eyes. For our guest today, Harry, it was a similar passion for movies that led him away from a conventional career in business and towards the unpredictable, exhilarating world of filmmaking. Embark on a journey with us as Harry opens up about his transition, the inspiration he drew from his personal essay class in college, and how an unexpected dream led him to embrace the “storm” of this artistic endeavor.
In the episode, we also have a stunning behind-the-scenes look at the making of Harry’s feature film “Enter the Room”. He decodes its fascinating creative process, talks about his influences – the greats like Christopher Nolan and David Lynch, and the trials that come with a full-length feature. The film’s title and the origin of its main characters, two brothers, provide a unique window into Harry’s storytelling. Our discussions also meander towards Harry’s recent submission to the Tornado Film Festival, where the idea of ’embracing the storm’ becomes a metaphor for resilience and creativity, resonating with his own journey in the film industry. Buckle up for a ride that shows how stormy situations can be transformed into opportunities for growth and inspiration.
