This week we sit down with writer/director Jesse Atlas, known for his high-concept, character driven genre thrillers. Having directed the hit short films "Record/Play" (Sundance, 2013) and "Let Them Die Like Lovers" (Tribeca, 2018), Jesse talks about how to leverage your short film and expand it into a feature or series. Listen in as Jesse provides invaluable tools and strategies for making the most out of your short.  He also tells us all about his class "Storytelling For Short Form Content," a workshop which teaches how to develop your brand/voice for your short. Learn more about his class and check out both shorts at autonomika.com.
