    Here’s what Film Threat says of my guest filmmaker Cory Choy‘s new film “Esme, My Love”: “Choy morphs his film from slice-of-life relationship drama to jarring thriller with skill, contrasting peace with severity with ease.

I Always Come To This For Advertising Inspiration

I’ve been listening to Jordan Brady for several years now, he doesn’t know it, but he’s helped shape my career through the bountiful amount of diverse and insightful film/advertising creatives that he’s interviewed. The dude is somehow inspirational and entertaining at the same time!
