  • Mike Figgis

    I’ve loved listening to Mr. Figgis and his friend Ali discussing his career and views on anything and everything. Also grabbed his book and the cards on ‘36 Dramatic Situations’ after listening to them break down how they can help you creatively. I just hope they make another series of podcasts sometime in the future.
