Industry Town

Since we're all stuck at home, let's talk to someone who's makes profitable content from his home. TRAVIS DESLAURIER (911: Lonestar, Ultimate Tag) is an actor, model, entrepreneur, and social media influencer with over 3 million followers across all platforms. He was kind enough to share his expertise of current social media landscape and how he makes content from his apartment that pays the bills. This was a FANTASTIC conversation with some practical application to these bizarre quarantined times.

Her first feature film BREAKING NEWS IN YUBA COUNTY starring Allison Janney and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal is coming out in 2020 and her plate is full with PLASTIC MAN for DC and a musical update of RIP VAN WINKLE starring Cynthia Erivo and Josh Gad.
