    Ep. 14 - The State of Comic Book Media w/ Kenneth Niebres

    And we are BACK! Sorry for the missed release last week (if you even noticed), just got crazy busy. This week, I have my friend, Kenneth, on the podcast as we discuss comics and how they translate to the big (and home) screen. Kenneth is an avid comic book reader so I really wanted to sit down, hop on a call with him, and talk about the current state of comic book media. What is going right? What do we wish we could see? You know, the conversational stuff. It's a great talk so you better listen! Also, Kevin Feige, hire Kenneth to write/direct your new BLADE movie! Check out Kenneth's short film from a little bit ago, Date Night. Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mr.mendez.productions/

    Ep. 11 - Working Up to Division I w/ Anthony Carter

    Episode 11 comes out strong with my friend, Anthony Carter joining us on the pod. The reason I have him on is because he makes content of all varieties. Whether this is highlight video in sports, freelance promotional content, or content for his online presence, A.C. does it all. We talk about his time moving up to shooting Division I sports and how he balances his content now. Also, disclaimer: I recorded this outside of my normal studio, in my home basement as of matter of fact. I also have been getting hammered by allergies so I sound super congested. That being said, don't let me funky audio distract you from the great stuff A.C. talks about! Follow Anthony below!
