Leadership in Film

Leadership in Film with Pemon Rami 

In this episode of REEL WISDOM WITH NK, host NK is joined by filmmaker, educator, and cultural leader Pemon Rami to explore what true leadership looks like in the film industry and how we can build a creative community that lasts.

From his early beginnings walking into a theater company out of curiosity, to becoming a mentor for generations of artists, Pemon shares what it really means to sustain an industry: passing on knowledge, leading with integrity, and creating spaces where others can thrive.

Together, NK and Pemon dive into the qualities of great leaders clarity of purpose, emotional intelligence, and the courage to decide what’s non-negotiable. They discuss the importance of communication, curiosity, and kindness on set, and how cultivating collaboration is the key to building a stronger creative ecosystem.

Pemon reminds us that filmmaking isn’t just about producing movies  but it’s about producing audiences, nurturing new voices, and shaping the cultural narratives that connect us all. His advice is simple but profound: if you’re in charge, you don’t need to prove it. Be clear, be compassionate, and be a good person.

Whether you’re leading a team, directing your first project, or dreaming of one day doing both, this episode offers timeless wisdom on how to lead with heart and leave something that outlives you.
