Back in 2013, as part of hitRECord on TV, Koura went to the US/Mexico boarder for a hitRECord shoot "Regarding: The Other Side." Joe held some really interesting conversations about what it means to be on "the other side" and Koura answered from her position at the time as a Production Designer working in Hollywood.

She reflected on the choices she makes when driven by her art, as opposed to being driven by crossing that magical line in Hollywood of "being good enough" and they talked about what it means to ever "get to the other side."
