Ever wonder how a movie actually gets made? Eyes On: How Hollywood Works is the filmmaking podcast that pulls back the curtain on the people who bring films and TV to life, the artists, technicians, and storytellers working up and down the call sheet.
Hosts Chris Hanada and Tanner Kling sit down with the cinematographers, production designers, casting directors, script supervisors, special effects makeup artists, sound designers, puppeteers, VFX artists, and crew whose work you've seen in your favorite movies, even if you've never heard their names. Each episode is an honest, jargon-free conversation about craft, collaboration, career paths, and the wild reality of working in the entertainment industry.
Whether you're a film student trying to break in, a working professional curious about other departments, or just a movie lover who wants to know how the magic really happens, Eyes On gives you a front-row seat to the business and the art of moviemaking. Past guests include script supervisor Hannah Driscoll, casting director Jeff Gafner, production designer Meg Bell, cinematographer Garrett O'Brien, sound designer Mark Camperell, and special effects makeup artist Carleigh Herbert.
New season drops June 17, 2026. Subscribe now and see Hollywood the way the people who build it do.
