Take a journey from sleeping on hoarder house beds while on tour, to crafting emotionally resonant wedding films. Where music, nostalgia, and artistry collide. Jason McCutchen is a wedding filmmaker based out of Boston Massachusetts, who currently owns three making brands, Merriment films, Stopgolove, and Huxley Film as well as an educator and podcaster at the YouTube channel Wedding Film School. Jason grew up in the New England hard-core metal scene, and in a previous life played in several bands in addition to working in recording studios. Scott and Jason connect over their shared roots in hardcore bands and the scrappy reality of DIY touring, broken vans, sleeping in bathtubs, and houses filled with hoarded stuff. Jason reveals how his early love for writing and performing music led to a career in film, blending his artistic drive with wedding filmmaking. The episode dives deep into the creative crossovers between music and visual storytelling, how nostalgia shapes Jason’s approach to films, and the unique ways his team weaves personal and family music into their projects. From fanboying over Converge and Deftones to candidly addressing the business side of art, Jason shares both the highs and the hard choices along his creative journey. \"If I do something that’s for my soul, I don’t want anyone to be able to take it away from me.” Rock with Jason huxley.film instagram.com/jaymccutchen weddingfilm.school Holding Hannah Stopgolove Luma Sites The tour (00:00) - Jason McCutchen (02:03) - Touring Disasters and Recording Studios (05:11) - Memorable Moments and Musical Influences (10:20) - Transition to Videography and Artistic Reflections (22:23) - Musical Influence in Wedd…","meta_description":"Find out what happens when punk rock and hardcore meets the world of cinematic wedding filmmaking.
