Filmmaking in Focus: Inside the Rise of Subtropic with Noelia Solange and David Hamzik

ArtiGras Podcast di ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival

Note sull'episodio

On the latest episode of the ArtiGras Podcast, we sit down with Noelia Solange, Co-Founder of Subtropic Film Festival, and filmmaker David Hamzik. From launching a truly indie festival in West Palm Beach to hosting year-round pop-up screenings and workshops, Noelia and David share how community, collaboration, and Florida’s distinct creative energy are shaping a new film culture across South Florida.

This conversation explores how Subtropic curates shorts by feeling and theme, why opening night at the Norton Museum matters, and how partnerships—from hands-on film workshops to cross-city screenings—keep local filmmakers in the spotlight. We dig into creative highs, on-set curveballs (rainstorms and 4 a.m. shoots), and the business side of art: how to sustain creativity by surrounding yourself with the right team.
