Insightful & Funny

A must for any filmmaker

ScottForrestfire ,

Very insightful and interesting

Matt and Oren are working directors in LA and this podcast does a great job of explaining the realities of directing commercials, web series, TV shows and films via guests and the extensive knowledge and experience of the hosts. The approach of aiming for listeners who actually want to build a career, rather than just make a film sets it aside from many others and I find the whole thing fascinating.
