No Map Included follows the creative journey from proof of concept to premiere, documenting what it actually looks like to develop stories from the earliest draft to the screen.

Hosted by filmmaker and producer Yessi Sanchez, this podcast marks the beginning of a new chapter after more than ten years in the film industry. At its center is Stay/Away, a deeply personal story that begins as a short proof of concept and grows into a feature film, developed in real time, from early drafts to financing conversations and beyond.

Alongside that journey, Yessi is simultaneously creating and launching a vertical series (LOVE/HATE), a lighter, faster, entirely different storytelling format, testing what it means to build across mediums at the same time.

This isn’t a roadmap to success.
It’s not a step-by-step guide.

There’s no blueprint here.

Instead, this is an honest look at what it means to make things from creative doubt and production chaos to momentum, pivots, and reinvention.

Alongside solo film diaries, Yessi sits down with filmmakers, actors, and creatives who are building careers beyond what fits in their bio, exploring the work behind the work, and the paths that don’t show up on IMDb.

If you’re curious about how projects actually evolve – from idea to premiere – this is the process, as it happens.
