Ben and Jamie get the honor of interviewing one of the most active and talented groups in the Utah Film Scene, Joel Petrie and Ryan Templeman of Parking Garage Pictures.

Founding partners of Parking Garage Pictures, Joel Petrie and Ryan Templeman, polar opposites with enough artistic similarities to create films greater than the sum of their individual parts. No end game. No mission statements. Only the dogged persistence of passionate storytellers who thrive in the turmoil of their chosen labor-- and love every minute of it.
