On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Phynley Joel:
“Hello! My name is Phynley and I am a 22 year old filmmaker from Nashville, Tennessee. I love to make films with simple, hopeful stories and aim to create a set atmosphere that is warm, inclusive and collaborative! Half of my family is from New Zealand and I have a NZ dual citizenship, which is why some of my favorite projects have been done there. I also think that this greatly informs some of the lightness and simplicity that plays into a lot of my stories.
In 2021 I was lucky enough to have my film, "Muggy," screened at the Nashville Film Festival and (to my disbelief, still) it actually won the Next Generation Filmmakers award there. This year, my film, "The Trobie" which was just screened at SWIFF was also screened at NFF. The last year and a half have held some very special occurrences and kindness towards some of my favorite projects.
As of late, I graduated college in May of '22 and I have been to blessed to have gotten my start in directing a documentary piece which has taken me to Norway and Rome over the last few months - very exciting!
To be honest, I'd say that beyond film alone, I am excited to be involved, in any way, in the production of any good story that I'm passionate about being told! I'm not sure what direction that will take, but for the moment, film is the vehicle and I am so thrilled and blessed to get to do it.”
