This week on the podcast I'm chatting to filmmaker Nathan Benham. Nathan started out as an actor and got frustrated with not getting the parts he wanted so he wrote and directed himself in a short monologue that was then taken on the festival circuit. Since then he's been putting together a dedicated team of cast and crew and building with each production.

I talked to Nathan about coming from acting, the types of short films he's made and tips for a successful festival run. We also talked about what he's learned on each project.
