On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 123 from October 2017 with filmmaker, podcaster and all around indie film guru, Noam Kroll. I thought Noam was a good match for James because they both focus on filmmaking (in one form or another) to pay the bills and I can see James sitting where Noam is with three features under his belt in a few years.

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 122 from October 2017 with cinematographer and director Frazer Bradshaw who talks about directing his feature Deep Sky while shooting commercials and other projects as his day job.
