In this episode of How I Made It (Somehow), Mischa Andreski joins the podcast to talk about her transition from Production Manager at Adventure Pictures, working alongside Sally Potter, to stepping into her own path as a writer-director.
Having built her career behind the scenes – managing budgets, logistics, teams and creative problem-solving – Mischa shares what it really means to understand filmmaking from the inside out. We talk about learning the craft through production, supporting other directors’ visions, and the moment she realised it was time to back her own.
A grounded, honest conversation about timing, authorship, and the courage it takes to shift from making films happen for others to creating your own.
