Welcome to the Apple Box Podcast! In this episode, we talk with Toronto-based Director, Mike Rae!

Hailing from the small town Belleville in Canada, Michael always has had a desire for storytelling. Be it chasing friends down his local ski hill terrain park with a first-generation GoPro, or filming weddings to pay for his education. Michael always wanted to say something for someone. The ‘someone’ who most of the time, didn’t know they had anything to say. Michael’s innate ability to see stories and capture authentic emotion developed at a young age, it was clearly evident when a GoPro and subscription to SonyVegas Pro was his only medium. But with the development and increasing accessibility of camera technology, Michael was able to see his self-taught skills and inherent creativity to their fullest potential. Michael’s clients have included, but are not limited to; Canadian Tire, Hydro One, Amex, NBA, The Toronto Raptors, Canada Goose, Toronto Blue Jays, Gay Lea, and Microsoft.

Welcome to the Apple Box Podcast! In this episode, we talk with Toronto-based director, Yana Malik. Yana shares how she was displaced from her home in Ukraine and forced to flee in order to escape the war. Without a home, her family, or her friends, Yana travelled across 8 different countries in search of a new place to call her home. Lost, confused, sad, and scared, Yana finally landed in Canada. Being homeless, she knocked on as many doors as possible in order to restart her filmmaking career. Eventually, she met a commercial producer in Toronto, who believed in her vision and her story. Now, at 25 years of age, she is working consistently as a music video director whilst branching into narrative and commercial projects. Yana shares her creative process as a director, what she looks for in a cinematographer, what inspires her storytelling, and so much more.

Welcome to the Apple Box Podcast! In this episode, Danny discusses the difference between amateur cinematography and pro cinematography. Understanding the technical components of the craft is baseline- at some level, it's expected of you. And starting out, it's great to learn and digest that information. However, as you evolve as a director of photography, it's important to understand the leadership role that a cinematographer has on set. Understanding how your decisions impact the director, the crew, and the overall workflow of a production, will make you stand out.

Welcome to the Apple Box Podcast! In this episode, our hosts Danny Lau and Anthony Voltsinis discuss the idea of Imposter Syndrome. As filmmakers and creative professionals, we often compare ourselves to other professionals in the industry. We see where we stack up and, in many cases, the fear of not being good enough, can often cause us to feel like we don't belong. Throughout the podcast, Danny and Anthony discuss their own challenges with imposter syndrome, and the steps to move forward and overcome it.
