What does it look like to turn the most painful part of your life into a film screened around the world?
Actor and writer Michael Strassner joins us to talk about the real events that inspired his breakout film, The Baltimorons, including his failed suicide attempt, the recovery that followed, and how he eventually found the clarity and distance to turn that experience into a film.
We explore:
• Why some stories cannot be told until they have been lived and processed
• How safety, trust, and small collaborative teams shaped the film
• The imposter syndrome Michael felt stepping into his first lead role
• His daily practices that kept him steady during production
• How audience reactions have become part of his healing
• Why his creative philosophy centers on showing up one day at a time
Michael’s honesty and humor make this a powerful listen for anyone holding a personal story they hope to share.
