RPRT14 | TUNE out the Noise, Stick to your art, and DO IT! (w/ Sean Carter)
While most kids were perfecting their dodgeball skills, this week’s guest, director Sean Carter, was dodging clichés and learning his way around cameras and all the film books he could consume.
Sean shares with hosts Mike and Lance how he transitioned from backyard Spielberg to film school prodigy, where he made friends in dark editing bays – the kind of friends who eventually call you up for a studio film gig in Greece. You know, as friends do.
It’s a deep dive into the mind that brought us “Keep Watching” and the much-anticipated “Wake,” his views on creating a narrative that grips you whether you're at a prestigious film festival or squished in the sticky seats of your favorite multiplex, and all of the career highs and low’s that don’t quite make the director’s cut.
If you're a fan of horror or just love a good behind-the-scenes tale, this episode is one for you.

REMASTERED EP139 | Directing Actors (Guests Judith Weston and Lance Williams)
Get ready for one of our favorite episodes of In Love with the Process, now completely remastered with new music! Host Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams sit down with acclaimed director and acting guru Judith Weston to discuss the book that transformed their approach to filmmaking. If you’ve ever referred to actors as "The Talent," you need to tune in.
Directing is one of the most social jobs in the industry, yet many aspiring directors neglect their relationships with actors. They’re not unicorns prancing in front of the camera; they’re professionals there to do a job. Effective directing goes beyond rehearsing lines—it's about understanding and communicating with your actors.
Judith Weston’s book, Directing Actors, has become a bible for Mike Pecci as he prepares for his first feature film. It also offers invaluable insights for actors like long-time guest and friend of the show Lance Williams. Take notes as Mike, Judith, and Lance delve into the importance of effective communication, the benefits of action verbs, and how to truly direct actors. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about mastering the craft of directing.
