Ep69 Kat Sparks

"Life's passing by, if you are not doing the things you love anyway, why not just give it a shot." - Kat Sparks While many people follow the path of the creative, few have done it as diversely as Episode 69 guest Kat Sparks. From a young actor in Hollywood to a powerful film producer in Austin, Texas, Kat has developed a keen sense of what makes great film. In this episode we discuss the ways in which her award-winning company, Southwest Film Productions helps up-and-coming artists and screenwriters develop and improve their storytelling. In an Art Unknown Podcast exclusive we dive deep into their first full-length documentary Greater Than Ourselves; a story about the homeless tunnels under Las Vegas and one organization that is making a difference. Kat also touches on the importance of putting your work out there and being open to critique as a way to craft a more complete story. If you are into great filmmaking, great stories, and all around great conversation then this episode is for you. images: ©kat sparks/southwest film productions southwest film productions southwest film productions instagram Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Spotify | Email | RSS MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS.fusion-portfolio-wrapper#fusion-portfolio-1 .fusion-portfolio-content{ padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px; text-align: center; }.fusion-portfolio-1 .fusion-portfolio-wrapper .fusion-col-spacing{padding:20px;}Crave Magazine2026-04-20T09:03:52-06:00 Ep93 Cliff Beach Ep93 Cliff BeachJim Wills2026-04-12T04:19:08-06:00 Ep92 Kneet Ep92 KneetCrave Magazine2026-03-25T11:28:26-06:00 Ep91 Lora Arbrador Ep91 Lora ArbradorCrave Magazine2026-03-18T07:15:26-06:00 Ep90 Rupali Kumbhani Ep90 Rupali KumbhaniCrave Magazine2026-03-18T07:04:33-06:00 Ep89 Regina Linke Ep89 Regina LinkeCrave Magazine2026-03-09T10:02:35-06:00 Ep88 Alec Harrison Ep88 Alec HarrisonCrave Magazine2026-03-09T09:58:09-06:00 Ep87 Lee Isaacs Ep87 Lee IsaacsCrave Magazine2026-02-05T22:26:18-07:00 Ep86 Evgenia Selina & Ilya Lapich Ep86 Evgenia Selina & Ilya LapichCrave Magazine2026-01-27T03:25:43-07:00 Ep85 Chris Orcutt Ep85 Chris OrcuttCrave Magazine2026-01-05T03:43:42-07:00 Ep84 Don Rodriguez Ep84 Don RodriguezCrave Magazine2026-01-02T07:47:38-07:00 Ep83 Franky Corcoran Ep83 Franky CorcoranCrave Magazine2025-12-18T08:47:06-07:00 Ep82 Maba Ba Ep82 Maba BaCrave Magazine2025-12-11T21:55:21-07:00 Ep81 Wednesdae Reim Ifrach Ep81 Wednesdae Reim IfrachCrave Magazine2025-12-12T04:30:18-07:00 Ep80 Dawn Farrow Ep80 Dawn FarrowCrave Magazine2025-12-12T05:39:48-07:00 Ep79 Richard Moon Ep79 Richard MoonCrave Magazine2025-12-12T05:47:26-07:00 Ep78 Kirk Voclain Ep78 Kirk VoclainCrave Magazine2025-12-15T04:17:17-07:00 Ep77 Stan Lai Ep77 Stan LaiCrave Magazine2025-12-15T04:19:24-07:00 Ep76 Dennis Welch Ep76 Dennis WelchCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:25:35-07:00 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3Crave Magazine2025-12-15T07:26:05-07:00 Ep74 Cameron Smith Ep74 Cameron SmithCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:27:19-07:00 Ep73 Siquoyia Blue Ep73 Siquoyia BlueJim Wills2025-12-15T07:50:38-07:00 Ep72 Clementine Moss Ep72 Clementine MossJim Wills2025-12-15T07:51:34-07:00 Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya Elizabeth Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya ElizabethCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:53:29-07:00 Ep70 Meg Raiano Ep70 Meg RaianoCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:25:41-07:00 Ep69 Kat Sparks Ep69 Kat SparksCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:28:00-07:00 Ep68 Christopher Quigley Ep68 Christopher QuigleyCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:31:29-07:00 Ep67 Shanti Hershenson Ep67 Shanti HershensonCrave Magazine2025-11-21T07:53:07-07:00 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2Crave Magazine2025-11-21T07:56:04-07:00 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1Crave Magazine2025-11-21T08:00:58-07:00 Ep64 Hersh Gutwilik Ep64 Hersh GutwilikCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:02:08-07:00 Ep63 Teri M Brown Ep63 Teri M BrownCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:06:51-07:00 Ep62 DJ Windy M Ep62 DJ Windy MCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:11:06-07:00 Ep61 Ant Boogie Ep61 Ant BoogieCrave Magazine2025-11-23T03:53:34-07:00 Ep60 Isabel Hülya Ergül Ep60 Isabel Hülya ErgülCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:00:15-06:00 Ep59 Afro Preachah Ep59 Afro PreachahCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:02:39-06:00 Ep58 Sofia Zolezzi Ep58 Sofia ZolezziCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:04:27-06:00 Ep57 Janet Dossigny Ep57 Janet DossignyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:07:05-06:00 Ep56 Laura Viola Preciado Ep56 Laura Viola PreciadoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:18:57-06:00 Ep55 Suzanne Frazier Ep55 Suzanne FrazierCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:20:21-06:00 Ep54 John Bacon Ep54 John BaconCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:23:04-06:00 Ep53 Heidi Luerra Ep53 Heidi LuerraCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:25:42-06:00 Ep52 Murat Germen Ep52 Murat GermenCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:35:44-06:00 Ep51 Monalicious Ep51 MonaliciousCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:37:09-06:00 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T08:45:05-06:00 Ep49 Angel Espino Ep49 Angel EspinoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:46:13-06:00 Ep48 Jesse Doyle Ep48 Jesse DoyleCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:03-06:00 Ep47 Mary Bue Ep47 Mary BueCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:31-06:00 Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever After Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever AfterCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:49:54-06:00 Ep45 Steven Dossou Ep45 Steven DossouCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:21:09-07:00 Ep44 Elizabeth Lo Ep44 Elizabeth LoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:01:18-06:00 Ep43 Anna Murphy Ep43 Anna MurphyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:10:59-06:00 Ep42 Zialand Ep42 ZialandCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:05:17-06:00 Ep41 Cole Scheifele Ep41 Cole ScheifeleCrave Magazine2025-09-29T09:12:45-06:00 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T09:13:16-06:00 Ep39 Jensen Sutta-Part 1
