Director Ryan Christopher McGuire has been based in Tokyo for over a decade, where he is also the Managing Director of Cutters Studios Tokyo. Ryan has a truly global perspective on the film industry thanks to his diverse career path. We discussed what ultimately led him to set up shop internationally. Ryan shared invaluable insights into his transition from editor to director, and the meticulous planning approach he's developed through years of experience. We also explored the unique opportunities and challenges that come with working in Tokyo, from navigating cultural differences to overcoming logistical hurdles on ambitious shoots. Ryan provided a real insider's look into the Japanese film industry. You'll be inspired by his boundary-pushing career. Thank you Ryan.

Improvisational genius/comic actor Pat Finn is on this very special episode! Pat and I have been collaborating together for almost 20 years making on Valley Toyota spots, and it's always a blast. Agency folks always like casting actors that can improv, but Pat is next level. And he happens to be the one of the top three nicest humans in Hollywood. From sitcoms "Seinfeld" and "The Middle" to films "It's Complicated" and more, Pat Finn creates memorable characters on screen and a lasting impression in person.
Pat shares hilarious stories, like sneaking into an improv class at Second City with Chris Farley. You'll learn what it's like to work with this comedic genius up close. Directors, take notes because Pat gives some great advice for us on how to get the most out of improvisors.. Even after all these years in the business, I'm still learning from Mr. Finn. So whether you're an aspiring actor, seasoned director or just love a good laugh, this is an interview you don't want to miss.

Filmmaker Emmanuel Afolabi joins the show for a wide-ranging discussion of his path from Nigeria to pursuing his filmmaking dreams. While relatively young, Emmanuel is very generous with his knowledge, hoping to help others as he himself grows. It was energizing to speak with someone so dedicated to their craft. Through determination and skill, he's already created impactful work while telling important stories. My new pal Emmanuel is a director to watch.
