Extras: Inside Camp Film Fest with founders Max & Simon | Full interview

In this special bonus episode, Mia sits down with Max Reisinger and Simon Kim of Creator Camp — the minds behind Camp Film Fest— for an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes conversation on how the entire festival came to life.

We cover:

• The origin of Creator Camp (from Discord chats to Montana cabins)

• How they chose the filmmakers for the first festival

• What worked, what didn’t, and why it was all worth it

• The vision for Camp Studios

• Thoughts on community, the power of in-person connection, and the idea of 1,000 True Fans
