In this episode of The Found Artist Files, NextFoundArtist’s CEO and Founder Rachael Galperin sits down with filmmaker Robert Kolodny to explore the emotional and collaborative art of storytelling. A director and cinematographer known for his work across both documentary and fiction, Kolodny reflects on how cinema became a way to process emotions, connect with others, and discover truth through creative expression.
From early influences and classic films that shaped his visual language to the importance of trust between directors and actors, Robert opens up about the lessons that have defined his filmmaking journey. He also discusses how teaching film fuels his passion for inspiring the next generation of storytellers—encouraging them to create from authenticity, not external validation.
