Description
GateCrashers Pod is a rebellion against the old Hollywood playbook.
Hosted by filmmakers Makayla McIntosh and Cat Yudain this series spotlights the creators who didn’t wait for permission — they broke in, built their own systems, and changed the game.
From vertical dramas and indie film financing to creative survival in an industry built on gatekeeping, Gatecrashers dives into the stories, strategies, and scars behind modern filmmaking and entertainment.
Real talk. Raw journeys. No gatekeepers allowed.
🎬 Gatecrashers — because the future of film belongs to the ones who kick the doors open.
