On the Come Up with Kimberly Sanchez

Storytelling With Intention: Inside the Mind of a Purpose Driven Filmmaker

Kimberly Sanchez Season 5 Episode 4

In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker, photographer, and storyteller Alana Marie as she shares the making of her Kinloch documentary, a 54-minute film about the rise and new hope for Missouri’s first Black city. We also dive into her latest film project, her all-women production team, and how she balances burnout, momentum, and multiple creative paths. This conversation is a grounded look at finishing meaningful work, trusting your process, and letting purpose guide the story. It’s an inspiring listen for creatives navigating long projects, shifting seasons, and the courage to keep going.
