This week on The PetaPixel Podcast, Chris and Jordan share their favorite movies from the last year that they think will have a positive impact on your photography and filmmaking. The duo rarely agree when it comes to movies, but they do have some common ground when discussing best film and best cinematography. If you find inspiration in how other people see the world and tell stories, you're going to want to hear why Chris and Jordan recommend these films. We use Riverside to record The PetaPixel Podcast in our online recording studio. We hope you enjoy the podcast and we look forward to hearing what you think.
