Great Interview

Just listened to the Marlowe Taylor episode and loved it! I found the interview engaging and informative - understandable for those who are in the industry and also those who just want to learn more about it.

Great Information

What I like about this first episode is how much real information it gives about the film industry. Who knew a Key Grip was so important to the film process. Wells Smith says so many little gems that I wanted to keep writing down to remember for the next film set I am on. Excited to listen to more.
