On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 336 from September 2021 with director Ben Hickernell who talks about raising the funds for his features, especially his fifth feature What We Found which is a Who Done It but set in high school. We thought this was a good match for Travis because they both made who done it’s, but one as their first feature and one as their fifth feature and they both talk about how they raised their funds. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!
