    January Recap featuring Dan Davis & Ravi Kiran

    Happy New Year! I thought I'd start off the new year with a new potential series. We'll see how many I can keep up with these for this year. I wanted to reconnect with folks who have been on the podcast before to see what they've been up to. So we're reflecting on on January together. Listen in the group hang about career changes, James Bond marathons, dance classes, what it means to be a creative in today's world.

    Phillip Jackson: Problem Solver

    For the last Render Room of the year, I got to chat with my friend Phillip Jackson. He is a cinematographer, whose work you may have seen recently with The Try Guys and Dropout. I love his attitude of always wanting to solve puzzles. He does that on set, he does that with board games, and he does that with sports and community organizing. He's always looking to help, learn, and improve himself. Please listen and enjoy. Follow Phillip on IG: @philjackson Follow The Render Room on IG: @_renderroom

    Caity Birmingham's Colorful World

    Welcome back to The Render Room. Caity Birmingham quickly realized the directing path wasn't for her in grad school and shifted to the more creatively fulfilling production design route. She forged her own path where there wasn't one, and never lost her spark along the way! Her credits include Documentary Now!, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Jenny Lewis music videos, and the current awards darling; Sorry, Baby. Find out her favorite crafts, her stance on AI (and her department's future), and of course her favorite movies.
