Behind Movie Magic with Corinna Vistan and Ian Takahashi

from Unpolished Wisdom · host Katrina Gisbert-Tay

Corinna Vistan and Ian Takahashi are award-winning filmmakers who have worked on movies and tv shows such as The Suicide Squad, The White Lotus and the Marvel Studios films. Corinna made a decision that seemed crazy to everyone around them—choosing to leave Hollywood success at its peak, leaving her job at Marvel right after Avengers: Endgame, to move their family to Manila. Ian continues to work as a Cinematographer in Hollywood now with a slightly longer commute. They open up about what it takes to pivot when you're already "winning," navigating profound uncertainty as creative partners and parents, and why sometimes the bravest choice is stepping away from everything you've built. This conversation explores the magic behind the movies and the deeper magic of a relationship built on mutual challenge, support, and the courage to reinvent together.
