On a special crossover episode of In Love with the Process and Cinematography Salon, host David Kruta sits down with director Mike Pecci for a brutally honest conversation about the state of post-COVID Hollywood.

Together, they unpack the chaos of a shifting industry, grappling with the false promises of AI disruption, the gatekeeping grip of the studio system, and the soul-crushing feeling of pitching into a void. Pecci doesn’t hold back as he speaks to the existential challenges of creating meaningful work in a landscape dominated by fear, algorithms, and mediocrity.

But this isn’t a rant, it’s a rallying cry. For Pecci, survival as a filmmaker means staying true, staying nimble, and continuing to make things with heart, no matter the odds. AI isn’t the enemy. Mediocrity is.

This is a must-listen for anyone trying to create something real in a system that too often rewards the opposite.
