The inference is pretty clear as to the future of amateur film, with the potential for dramatic cost savings. Joining Julia to discuss is Runway CEO Chris Valenzuela.

Spain is facing political uncertainty today as no single party was able to win enough votes to form a government after yesterday's election.

Joining the show to explain what we can expect next is José Ignacio Torreblanca, a senior policy fellow and head of the Madrid office of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
