Peter is a film writing, actor, producer, director and basically anything that is involved in movie and film making from the script to the post-production to the organising of screenings. We talked about how he got started making films as a child and how the change in technology has enabled him to continue creating his own projects but also work on mainstream TV and films.

I got him on to talk about...

• How he went from making stop-motion with his dads tape camcorder to making content for MTV.
• The most effective order to put together a film.
• How he used his DIY indie films as calling cards to work with his comedy writing hereos on blockbuster films.
• How he's built a career and a network without any social media.
• The hidden pressures of crowdfunding.

Ben Verth (@benverth) and John Millar (@JohnMillarComic) are two of the four Barrel boys who founded Monkey Barrel comedy (@barrelcomedy) club. This amazing purpose built venue rose from the ashes of Ben's first club in the Grassmarket known as the Beehive and we get into the future of Scottish comedy, the Edinburgh Fringe and why they were so secretive about the new venture.

I got them on to talk about...

• Why they felt the Edinburgh Fringe needs another comedy venue.
• What the future of the festival looks like to them
• Why the "power" of so many venues shouldn't be held by two massive Free Fringe / Festival offerings.
• Why they didn't crowdfund the new venue
• Why they were so secretive about the project before "going live" to the Scottish comedy community.

This is our 4th live Q&A. It took place at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017 at the Sweets Venue in Grassmarket. Thanks to JD at the venue as well as the whole panel and everyone who came down to attend and ask questions.
