How an Outlier Became an Emmy-Winning Director
You’ve probably seen his work without ever knowing his name.
Andrij Parekh is the Emmy-winning filmmaker behind some of the most acclaimed films and series of the past two decades, from Blue Valentine to Succession and House of the Dragon.
But what drew me to his story wasn’t just his impressive career. It was the choices he made along the way.
He chose New York over Los Angeles. Artistry over industry. He spent years behind the camera before finally stepping into the director’s chair, even though directing still makes him nervous.
In this episode, he takes us behind the scenes of Succession and House of the Dragon, while opening up about what it takes to build a career like his: the doubts, mistakes, mentors and sacrifices.
How do you push yourself beyond your comfort zone?
What’s the film industry really like?
What does success mean when you’ve already made it?
A fascinating conversation about cinema, but ultimately about something much bigger: finding your path and having the courage to stay true to it.
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!
