IFH 840: Finding Your Way into Film Without Film School with David Powers

Tue Feb 03 2026

Listen

David Powers shares his unconventional path into filmmaking, one driven by curiosity rather than credentials. From discovering cinema through genre films and festivals to learning production hands-on through wrestling shoots and indie sets, David explains how real-world experience shaped his understanding of storytelling, collaboration, and problem-solving. His journey highlights how festivals like the New York Asian Film Festival can serve as both inspiration and long-term creative homes. The conversation also explores burnout, boundaries, and the importance of choosing sustainable paths in film. David discusses learning when to say no, recognizing red flags on set, and finding fulfillment outside nonstop production work. By returning to directing through festival programming and digital content, he demonstrates how filmmakers can step back without giving up—and rediscover why they fell in love with movies in the first place.
