EP01 - The Pilot OR Two Dipshits Talking About Birds

Step into 'Doc Walks' with indie filmmakers Keith Maitland and Ben Steinbauer as they kick off this walk & talk podcast with a pilot episode focused on their documentary origins, storytelling motivations, personal frailties, and a few bird sightings. Tune in for candid conversations, industry insights, and the ambient sounds of Austin's hike and bike trail. From The Bear and Go Valley comes the show you didn't know you wanted (or needed, probably). Hosted, produced, and edited by Ben Steinbauer and Keith Maitland, with help from Tanner Bass. Theme song by Sam Billen and Primary Color Music.   00:00 Introduction and Sound Check 00:40 Launching the Podcast: Doc Walks 02:03 The Concept Behind Doc Walks 02:56 Insights on Documentary Filmmaking 06:22 Personal Journeys into Filmmaking 12:06 Challenges and Realities of Filmmaking 13:53 The Collaborative Nature of Filmmaking 17:19 Synchronicity and Creative Inspiration 25:34 Conclusion and Future Plans
