In Episode 2 of the Wallbreakers Podcast, we sit down with Ottawa filmmakers Fitch Jean and Weggon Allen, the creative team behind Lenz Films—an independent production company shaping bold, story-driven work in Canada’s film industry.
From award-winning short films to producing larger-scale projects, Fitch and Weggon have built their careers by creating opportunities where none existed. In this conversation, they share what it really takes to start a production company, collaborate as creative partners, and navigate the challenges of breaking into filmmaking as emerging artists.
