Beyond Your Imagination is a podcast that celebrates the kick-ass do-it-yourself spirit of independent film. I can't think of anyone else who personifies this spirit more than this season's guest, Kelley Baker, aka The Angry Filmmaker. On April 15th, 2024, we are kicking off the season in style with conversations about how we watch movies, the stories that capture our souls, and how our favorite movies teach us about life, love, madness, and mischief—everything a modern-day filmmaker needs to speak up and stand out.
