Hello, Hello!

We also talk about:

 


- Frank discusses starting Full Armor Films in New Orleans and how the city's film tax incentives have helped grow the local industry.
- The group talks about acting techniques, pitching projects to studios vs. independently, and how recent strikes have impacted the business. 
- Frank shares his experience getting an exception during the WGA strike to continue production.
- Acting exercises like being assigned random characters at parties are discussed as ways to improve skills.
- And a brand new Things You Should Know — inspired by Frank!
