It's time for more "Have Story, Will Tell" & "My First Time" industry experiences sent in from our listeners! Victoria Stevens tells us how she became her professor’s prime example, but for all the wrong reasons, Blondean Young discusses her first theater audition and Toni Fernandez shares the touching story behind the name of her film. In the Women Crush Wednesday Spotlight, January Green tells us why Tammy Reese is crushing it this week. 

Hosts Leah Curney and Janine McGoldrick discuss the re-opening of NYC movie theaters, the Amazon Prime Video Direct announcement that they are no longer accepting documentary and short film submissions and recommend CBS's The Equalizer, John Sayle's The Secret of Roan Inish and a few other St. Patrick's Day inspired films.
