I’ve been listening to a lot of Blissful Spinster off late and I LOVE it. The guests are amazing, and I’m constantly noting down takeaways. And in an almost miraculously way, so many of the nuggets of wisdom and advice come to me just as I need it. Love it!

A great listen! For filmmakers of any age.. or simply someone that is still trying to figure out their career path in production. Each episode offers thoughtful and insightful discussions. I particularly enjoy the conversation with Leigh, about creativity. Hope she’s a guest again. From Cris, “Your biggest fan has to be you.”

Cris is amazing and she has amazing insight from her worldly travels that will leave you inspired!!

If you’re making a film, thinking of making a film or just like film, Blissful Spinster should be on your list of pods to listen to. It’s entertaining, but also pretty dang informative. It’s open, honest and inspiring. WELL WORTH YOUR TIME. Plus… cats.

This is one of the few film podcasts that makes me feel like I’m actually gaining some incite into filmmaking and the process of becoming a filmmaker. Each episode breaks down a different facet of making movies with the perspective of someone who not only understands their craft but also is aware of the current conditions for all aspiring storytellers. Highly recommend for anyone who aspires to be in the film/tv world.

The host does a great job of combining a light hearted approach and delving into serious matters. The back and forth with guests creates insightful moments which drive the discussion. This listener is listening Blissfully. :)

I’m just a few episodes in and I am so impressed with how Graves divides her time between insightful questions designed to summon the greatest inspiration and the on-the-edge-of-the-seat developments of producing her first feature film. This is a master class on perseverance, passion and how to build a community of collaborators. With charm, wit and know how, Graves makes you want to join her family of devotees, the one devoted not just to self-worth but to filmmaking at large. It’s like a double dose of self-help and filmmaking know-how. So beautiful and rare!

Filmmaking is wild beast of a career. I’ve come to find that, rather than hoping to learn it all straight from the masters, it is more valuable to learn from someone who is a few steps ahead of me in terms of my film aspirations. Cris Graves’ Blissful Spinster, however, provides both. It is teaching through learning, seamlessly executed, and a joy to listen to!

Cris Graves does a great job chatting with her eclectic mix of interesting industry guests - it’s a great balance of informative discussions and witty banter.

Love hearing from host Cris Graves about the truth of getting a film off the ground and finding happiness right where you are. And the guests are amazing!! Listen, listen.

Cris knows how to engage with other creatives to talk about the process of filmmaking and how life experience informs each situation. Highly enjoyable and good information.
