The Tinsel Factory: A Film History Podcast
By Katelyn Amber
The Tinsel Factory gives you, the listener, an introductory look at some of the greatest stories from the world of film. Each month your host, a filmmaker who daylights for a major Hollywood studio, picks a theme and choses four topics from within to broaden your film knowledge.
Not a film snob? Put off by film bros? This podcast is for you - everything is broken down for the causal film goer or someone looking to start dipping their toes into the world of cinema. Come on in, take a seat, it's showtime.
