Amazing show that I have recommended to several of my students who want to go into filmmaking.
I am not in the filmmaking community, but I am a band director and stills photographer who very much enjoys the industry.
These guys are entertaining, dynamic, and enthusiastic about sharing their directing experiences with this community. They choose relevant guests and include just the right amount of sarcasm (wooo).
I also thoroughly enjoy unpaid endorsements!
Thank you guys for all you do.
