Filmmaking Unpacked is a podcast by Ross Morin that explores the psychological, philosophical, and practical challenges faced by filmmakers and creative people. Blending textbook, self-help, philosophical essay, and memoir formats, it is structured as 26 chapters, similar to a college semester. The show is intended for use in high school, college, and graduate courses, and is especially aimed at those who didn’t get the film education they wanted. Ross Morin writes, performs, and produces the series, which is released under a Creative Commons license with optional donations.
