In this week's interview episode the gang sits down with writer/director/actor Jesse Swenson to discuss his mockumentary feature film Alan At Night, which is currently finishing a wildly successful festival run and just took home Best Cast at this year's Unnamed Footage Festival! They get into how he got his start in filmmaking, what it was like being a Broadway actor in the hit show Spring Awakening, getting naturalistic performances from your cast, balancing plot and emotional authenticity, the differences between mockumentary and found footage, the "editor auteur" theory of in-world camera filmmaking, how to approach the film festival circuit, and so much more!
