"Life's passing by, if you are not doing the things you love anyway, why not just give it a shot." - Kat Sparks While many people follow the path of the creative, few have done it as diversely as Episode 69 guest Kat Sparks. From a young actor in Hollywood to a powerful film producer in Austin, Texas, Kat has developed a keen sense of what makes great film. In this episode we discuss the ways in which her award-winning company, Southwest Film Productions helps up-and-coming artists and screenwriters develop and improve their storytelling. In an Art Unknown Podcast exclusive we dive deep into their first full-length documentary Greater Than Ourselves; a story about the homeless tunnels under Las Vegas and one organization that is making a difference. Kat also touches on the importance of putting your work out there and being open to critique as a way to craft a more complete story. If you are into great filmmaking, great stories, and all around great conversation then this episode is for you. images: ©kat sparks/southwest film productions southwest film productions southwest film productions instagram Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Spotify | Email | RSS MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS.fusion-portfolio-wrapper#fusion-portfolio-28 .fusion-portfolio-content{ padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px; text-align: center; }.fusion-portfolio-28 .fusion-portfolio-wrapper .fusion-col-spacing{padding:20px;}Crave Magazine2025-11-19T03:27:58-07:00 Ep78 Kirk Voclain Ep78 Kirk VoclainCrave Magazine2025-11-17T10:06:50-07:00 Ep77 Stan Lai Ep77 Stan LaiCrave Magazine2025-11-06T07:09:56-07:00 Ep76 Dennis Welch Ep76 Dennis WelchCrave Magazine2025-11-05T12:04:31-07:00 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3Crave Magazine2025-10-27T03:42:57-06:00 Ep74 Cameron Smith Ep74 Cameron SmithCrave Magazine2025-10-23T03:37:36-06:00 Ep73 Siquoyia Blue Ep73 Siquoyia BlueJim Wills2025-10-16T11:53:25-06:00 Ep72 Clementine Moss Ep72 Clementine MossJim Wills2025-10-12T09:45:00-06:00 Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya Elizabeth Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya ElizabethCrave Magazine2025-11-17T07:48:28-07:00 Ep70 Meg Raiano Ep70 Meg RaianoCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:25:41-07:00 Ep69 Kat Sparks Ep69 Kat SparksCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:28:00-07:00 Ep68 Christopher Quigley Ep68 Christopher QuigleyCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:31:29-07:00 Ep67 Shanti Hershenson Ep67 Shanti HershensonCrave Magazine2025-09-29T05:44:34-06:00 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T05:44:59-06:00 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1Crave Magazine2025-09-29T05:49:37-06:00 Ep64 Hersh Gutwilik Ep64 Hersh GutwilikCrave Magazine2025-09-29T05:50:24-06:00 Ep63 Teri M Brown Ep63 Teri M BrownCrave Magazine2025-09-29T05:54:26-06:00 Ep62 DJ Windy M Ep62 DJ Windy MCrave Magazine2025-09-29T07:53:41-06:00 Ep61 Ant Boogie Ep61 Ant BoogieCrave Magazine2025-09-29T07:55:28-06:00 Ep60 Isabel Hülya Ergül Ep60 Isabel Hülya ErgülCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:00:15-06:00 Ep59 Afro Preachah Ep59 Afro PreachahCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:02:39-06:00 Ep58 Sofia Zolezzi Ep58 Sofia ZolezziCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:04:27-06:00 Ep57 Janet Dossigny Ep57 Janet DossignyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:07:05-06:00 Ep56 Laura Viola Preciado Ep56 Laura Viola PreciadoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:18:57-06:00 Ep55 Suzanne Frazier Ep55 Suzanne FrazierCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:20:21-06:00 Ep54 John Bacon Ep54 John BaconCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:23:04-06:00 Ep53 Heidi Luerra Ep53 Heidi LuerraCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:25:42-06:00 Ep52 Murat Germen Ep52 Murat GermenCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:35:44-06:00 Ep51 Monalicious Ep51 MonaliciousCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:37:09-06:00 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T08:45:05-06:00 Ep49 Angel Espino Ep49 Angel EspinoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:46:13-06:00 Ep48 Jesse Doyle Ep48 Jesse DoyleCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:03-06:00 Ep47 Mary Bue Ep47 Mary BueCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:31-06:00 Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever After Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever AfterCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:54-06:00 Ep45 Steven Dossou Ep45 Steven DossouCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:50:25-06:00 Ep44 Elizabeth Lo Ep44 Elizabeth LoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:01:18-06:00 Ep43 Anna Murphy Ep43 Anna MurphyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:10:59-06:00 Ep42 Zialand Ep42 ZialandCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:05:17-06:00 Ep41 Cole Scheifele Ep41 Cole ScheifeleCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:12:45-06:00 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T09:13:16-06:00 Ep39 Jensen Sutta-Part 1 Ep39 Jensen Sutta-Part 1Crave Magazine2025-09-29T09:23:36-06:00 Ep38 Patricia McInroy Ep38 Patricia McInroyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:24:02-06:00 Ep37 Adrianne Tamar Arachne Ep37 Adrianne Tamar ArachneCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:24:47-06:00 Ep36 Lé Secret Ep36 Lé SecretCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:25:46-06:00 Ep35 Ariana Gradow Ep35 Ariana GradowCrave Magazine2025-09-30T02:56:40-06:00 Ep34 Ben Makinen Ep34 Ben MakinenCrave Magazine2025-09-30T03:25:56-06:00 Ep33 Morgan Mandala & Randal Roberts Ep33 Morgan Mandala & Randal RobertsCrave Magazine2025-09-30T03:27:08-06:00 Ep32 Gamelan Tunas Mekar Ep32 Gamelan Tunas MekarCrave Magazine2025-09-30T03:28:54-06:00 Ep31 Talk Gallery Ep31 Talk GalleryCrave Magazine2025-09-30T03:31:31-06:00 Ep30 Andrew Clark Ep30 Andrew ClarkCrave Magazine2021-03-01T16:47:46-07:00 Ep29 Joshua Gillow Ep29 Joshua GillowCrave Magazine2021-03-02T07:13:37-07:00 Ep 28: Okuda San Miguel Ep 28: Okuda San MiguelCrave Magazine2021-03-02T07:16:30-07:00 Ep 27: Kendall Burks Ep 27: Kendall BurksCrave Magazine2021-03-02T07:44:13-07:00 Ep26: Mythica von Griffyn Ep26: Mythica von GriffynJim Wills2024-07-19T02:03:41-06:00 Ep25: Jim Wills Ep25: Jim WillsCrave Magazine2021-03-02T08:02:47-07:00
