The Logik Podcast #66: Daniel Reitzenstein (Part 1 of 2)
Amanda Elliott continues our artist profile series with an interview with Daniel Reitzenstein. Part 1 of 2.
Daniel’s journey through the film industry has been shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to keep evolving. From starting out as a freelance assistant video editor to becoming an animatics editor on Project Hail Mary, he has learned that building a creative career is rarely a straightforward path.
In this podcast Daniel opens up about seeing himself as a “Swiss Army Knife,” working through imposter syndrome, taking chances, and why creatives shouldn’t take client notes personally. He reflects on the importance of empathy, staying open when a project changes direction, and creating enough emotional distance to avoid tying your self-worth to a specific outcome.
At the heart of it all, his belief is that filmmaking is a team sport—one built on trust, collaboration, and keeping the meaningful professional connections with people you meet along the way.
