This week Alrik and co-host L. Jeffrey Moore talk to Write/Director Hassan Said and stars Briana Walsh and Jordan Potch about the making of their one take feature, This Is Your Song! We sat down with these three filmmakers the day after they wrapped principal photography so get ready for a lively and exciting discussion of how they made this film happen!

Meet Hassan Said

You may remember Hassan from one of our early episodes, all the way back in the first year of the podcast on episode 46!

Here's Hassan's bio, just in case.

Hassan was born in Egypt, moved to New York at 15 and then came to San Francisco for college (Academy of Art). He interned at Goodby Silverstein & Partners where he met Timothy. After graduating college, crewed on some SF based productions like Milk and Trauma before deciding to move to Los Angeles. He moved to LA 5-years ago to pursue his dream. Armed with 10 short films that have played at more than 50 festivals, Hassan still struggles to find producers to help him get his films made. He pays the bills by freelancing as an editor or production coordinator, he’s also an actor and does some photography work.
