The Lens of Change: Filmmaking with Purpose| Marissa Lessman Galizia & Joseph Galizia | Ep 8

Welcome to Episode 8 of Conversations with Caitlin! This week, Caitlin sits down with the dynamic director-producer duo Marrisa Lessman Galizia and Joseph Galizia, founders of Pretty Pretty Power Bomb. Hailing from Las Vegas, Marissa and Joseph are the creative force behind the upcoming mockumentary-style film, This Is Our City, set to premiere in May 2025 at The Beverly Theater. This Is Our City follows the wild tale of “Baby Boy” Bill Galanarri, the son of a ruthless mob boss, in a comedic yet poignant look at legacy, identity, and community. Filmed almost entirely in Las Vegas and supported by a host of downtown businesses, the project is a love letter to the city which raise the couple.

In this episode, we dive into the power of collaboration both on set and off, the magic of storytelling, and how filmmaking is reshaping the cultural landscape of Las Vegas. It’s a conversation that’s both lighthearted and thought-provoking—an inside look at how stories can entertain, connect, and transform.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation on creativity, community, and carving out space in the film world—one frame at a time.
