In this episode, I am joined by director Misha Calvert and actor Raye Spielberg to unpack their latest short film PINK FLAGS - a figure skating drama that stars both Raye and her husband Sawyer Spielberg.

Throughout our discussion, we dive into the collaborative process at length, with special emphasis on the merits of working with close friends and family. Topics covered include:

• Misha's journey from directing comedy & TV to making a full scale short film
• Turning a $50K budget into $300K of production value
• Raye's three months of figure skating training & how it helped set this film apart
• The dynamics of actor-director workflows when working with friends
• Benefits of short films vs. long form projects
• Much more!
