You're in the middle of cooking something in your kitchen, and you have to grab the spatula. Where is it? Did you have to think about it or did you already start moving toward where you know it will be? Our guest this week, Chef Frank Prisinzano, has been helping thousands of people on Instagram by teaching them simple recipes that will knock the socks off your dinner guests. What he and Host Mike Pecci really get into, however, is the importance of establishing that flow through repetition and practice. Whether it's a kitchen or a film set, maintaining flow helps you to stop focusing on your tools so you can dive into the art of what you're doing.Follow Frank on Instagram:instagram.com/frankprisinzanoMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessCrispy Egg:instagram.com/p/CDhscR8DwFeWhy no Brands:instagram.com/tv/BndxQSBA2j9The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors

Yeah, yeah, yeah... of course we push for you to not be so worried about the finish line: to be In Love With The Process. It's not about the awards. It's not about the recognition. It's not about the money. But like- come on... When you're watching the newest Star Wars film and flipping out over the leaked Batman footage that voice starts whispering "That's gonna be you. You're going to be the one making that." It's ok. We admit that we've thought the same thing. But how do you actually BECOME that person? Host Mike Pecci was able to learn that from this week's guest: Greig Fraser. Greig has shot huge blockbusters including Vice, Zero Dark Thirty, and the best modern Star Wars film: Rogue One. He's also the guy who shot the upcoming DUNE and Batman films. Yeah. We know. Grab those noise-cancelling headphones and get ready to learn what it takes to become one of the most sought-after DPs in Hollywood.Follow Greig Fraser on IG:instagram.com/greigfraser_dpMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessEskimo Joe - Liar:vimeo.com/17168534Interview with Denis Villeneuve: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIdV7AWd3nsThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessFright Rags (10% off at checkout w/ code: ILWP10):www.fright-rags.com/ILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors

If you are looking to improve your directing skills, editing skills, or story boarding techniques, this podcast is a must!

One of the first people that Host Mike Pecci hung out with after arriving in LA was another director named Dan Centrone. The two hit it off immediately: they both have experience as music video directors, they have the same East Coast mindset, and they've both dealt with some of the worst experiences in the business. Which is why we never were able to release the first recording of their episode. After some time working on new projects, boosting their spirits, and refocusing their discussion, we finally have an incredible episode with insight, catharsis, and a little sneak peak into what making your first feature film actually means.Dan's Webpage:http://danielcentrone.comFollow Dan on IG:instagram.com/dancentroneMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessRobert Eggers had a team build an actual lighthouse for The Lighthouse:https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/18/20921056/the-lighthouse-robert-eggers-director-interview-behind-the-scenes-robert-pattinson-willem-dafoeThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessQuasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Fright Rags (10% off at checkout w/ code: ILWP10):www.fright-rags.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors
