Welcome back to the pod: actor, writer and producer TRAVIS JEFFERY!

When I saw the trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes I  wrote to Trav just asking if i could re-release the episode we recorded 4 years ago in celebration of this new movie and Trav said let's do a new pod chat, so here we are! There are so many pearls of wisdom in this chat from handling rejection to not comparing yourself to others. And of course i had to ask about being cast as the cheeky chimp Anaya in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Trav talked about working with motion capture technology and being in ape school for 6 weeks, which also meant he got to work with the legendary Andy Serkis (Gollum and Caesar). 

You can watch the trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes here: Watch here!

Trav also talked about his short film Dusty; that he stars in, wrote and produced. It's incredible, heads up, this movie unpacks grief and substance use. Trav talks about the whole process and his own grief that this movie is based upon.
