In this episode of The Found Artist Files, NextFoundArtist’s CEO and Founder Rachael Galperin is joined by filmmaker Spencer Slishman for a wild, insightful, and seriously entertaining ride through his creative universe. From his early days as a wrestler to his time at NYU film school, Spencer jumps headfirst into stories about finding his voice, navigating the industry, and why collaboration—and a bit of chaos—can be key to creativity.
Following Spencer’s train of thought is like stepping into a movie montage: the pros of shooting on film versus digital, the future of indie film, technology’s ever-changing role, and the beauty of diversity in storytelling all come crashing together in the best way possible. Expect unexpected turns, laughs, and moments of genuine clarity.
This one’s for anyone who loves film, values authenticity, and has a mind that runs a million miles a minute.
We highly highly recommend you take a listen to the extended version on our YouTube to absorb everything Spencer has to say. It’ll be the greatest hour and a half of your life.
