CK Café: Conversations with Indie Creatives
CK Café is a filmed podcast and live conversation series spotlighting creators —especially those from underrepresented communities — who are building their careers in film, music, theatre and beyond. Each episode explores the artist’s personal journey, the challenges they’ve faced, and the love behind their work. Whether through deep-dive interviews, behind-the-scenes breakdowns, or live panels, CK Café offers inspiration and real talk for artists and audiences alike.
The podcast was created by CK Productions, an independent film and multimedia company, dedicated to bold storytelling, championing underrepresented voices, and producing innovative projects that bridges art and impact.
