After a hiatus, the C-Level Up podcast returns with hosts J.D. Miller and Mike Kreissl welcoming film producer Jordan Reinwald for an engaging conversation that bridges Hollywood storytelling and executive leadership. Reinwald, most recently an executive producer of the indie horror film Inhabitants, shares a behind the scenes look at the realities of independent filmmaking, from raising capital and juggling multiple producer roles to managing actors and navigating the relentless pressure of production timelines. With stories from the set and experiences working alongside major talent, he offers a candid perspective on what it takes to bring a film from idea to screen.

The conversation also expands beyond filmmaking into leadership, creativity, and the rapidly changing media landscape. Reinwald reflects on how his leadership style evolved from early acting and production work to leading teams on set, while discussing the shifting balance between theatrical releases and streaming platforms. The episode closes with a lively exploration of AI’s role in the future of film and content creation, where technology may reshape parts of the industry but human storytelling remains at the center. It is a thoughtful and entertaining return for C-Level Up, packed with insights for leaders, creators, and anyone fascinated by the business of bringing stories to life.
