The Story
What happens when a podcaster picks up a camera?
In 2018, Fei Wu did something most podcasters never attempt.
After four years of interviewing creators, entrepreneurs, and artists on the Feisworld Podcast, she decided the stories deserved more than audio. She assembled a four-person crew, packed equipment into a car, and traveled across the United States — from the East Coast to the West Coast — filming intimate conversations with ten extraordinary people.
The result is a 5-episode documentary mini-series.
“Feisworld: Live Your Art” explores what it really means to build a life on your own terms. Each episode is themed — social service, crossing borders, mindset, paying it forward, and living your work.
Featuring candid, unscripted conversations with marketing legend Seth Godin, former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss, comedian Sarah Cooper, and a family of Cirque du Soleil acrobats.
Bootstrapped, independent, and now streaming worldwide.
The series was co-written and co-created by Fei Wu and Germán Ceballos with a nimble team, and released in 2019. It is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, Apple TV, Google Play, and Hoopla.
The drive to create transcends borders, race, background, and circumstance.

Five episodes. Ten stories. One journey.
Each episode explores a different theme through candid, unscripted conversations.

Behind the Scenes
How we made it
The Feisworld Documentary was bootstrapped from the start. Fei assembled a core team of four — producer, director, editor, and herself — with project-based hires for sound engineering and production assistance. The crew traveled cross-country, filming in multiple locations from the East Coast to the West Coast, wrapping principal photography by mid-October 2018.
Post-production led to a 2019 release on Amazon Prime Video via Amazon Video Direct. Fei also documented the making-of process through a companion podcast series, covering everything from team assembly and packing for travel to lessons learned about independent film distribution.
