Recorded at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, Kayvan Mashayekh sits down with producer Derek Dienner for a conversation about perseverance, filmmaking, and the power of authentic relationships. Derek shares his journey from picking up a VHS camera as a child to building a production company with his family and overcoming a life-changing health challenge. The discussion explores the making and success of his first independent feature film, Brave the Dark, which was financed through a passionate group of local community investors, its path to Angel Studios, and how PWB connections helped open doors. Derek also discusses his latest film, Joy Will Prevail, which received support through PWB, reflecting on how community, shared success, and simply continuing to show up can create unexpected opportunities.
