What's the podcast about?
The Slate & Lens podcast is about filmmaking – specifically in the American South. We’ll talk with people who are working in film and/or video production, the challenges they’ve overcome, and how this all helps you. The goal is to give you inspiration to make your own dreams come true, even if you’re not a filmmaker.
Who's the host?
Camden Watts, a Southern storyteller with more than a decade of film and video experience, is the host of Slate & Lens. She has written, produced, and directed several independent films. Watts also consults and freelances with filmmakers to help them tell their own stories. Learn more about Camden.
What's a podcast?
A podcast is like a radio show, where a host talks to people about the films and videos they’re working on. The podcast is hosted online, which means you can subscribe using an app on your smartphone. (You could also stream an episode on the website.) Listen while you’re exercising, driving, or doing other things – just as you would with a radio.
