Let's Talk

This ep we're joined by prolific Australian film & commercial director Lee Rogers.

Lee has had an incredibly diverse career that has taken him from being a male model and tradie to filmmaker creating some of Australia's most beloved music videos. He also wrote, directed and starred in the first digital movie shot in Australia. Lee shared some of the lessons he has learned along the way around breaking into the film industry and how school might not be as important as one might think. And he treated us to an epic love story.
