              • Whit Conway - NYC Director

                Whit Conway (Joe Pera Talks With You, Saturday Night Live, The Emmy's) is a NY-based video & film director who sat down with me to talk about his move from Chicago to New York and how he’s been carving out a career as a filmmaker. He’s directed & edited for TV shows and has also produced several personal projects throughout the years.

                Whit was smart enough to pivot his career in 2020 & found plenty of work throughout the pandemic, as well as produce a personal project with one of his long-time comedic collaborators, AND he helped his wife raise their two young boys.
