Reel Therapy
🎬 Reel Therapy is where craft, critique and catharsis come together. Hosted by filmmakers Daniel and Donavon, this podcast dives deep into the world of film and television—not just how it’s made, but how it makes us feel. From emotional reactions to sharp script breakdowns, the duo explores what works, what doesn't, and how movies and TV can hit harder with a second draft. Whether you're a screenwriter, a cinephile, or just in it for the feels, this is your behind-the-scenes pass to cinema with heart.
