On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 359 from Februrary 2022 with writer and show runner Rebecca Cutter who talks about working her way up in the writers room and creating her own show, Hightown! I thought Rebecca was a good match for Debby because they both worked their way up in writers rooms before running their own shows. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!

Liz Manashil and Alrik Bursell discuss independent filmmaking, everything from writing, producing and directing to working as crew. But this is not just a podcast about "making it," it's also about struggling with rejection, self-doubt and everything else that comes with pursuing a career in film. Follow along as we forge our own way through the industry and talk to guests who are also making it happen.

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 174 from September 2018 with writer and director Paulina Lagudi who talks about making her first feature Mail Order Monster after having co produced a feature before hand. I thought Paulina was a good match for Zoe because they both talk about making their first feature and they had both produced a feature before writing and directing their own solo features. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!

Zoe Eisenberg - Premiering at Slamdance with First Feature Chaperone!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 263 from May 2020 with Greg Barker about moving from career in documentaries to making his first narrative feature for Netflix. I thought this was a good pairing for Stefon because both their first narrative features were produced by Netflix, under very different circumstances and in different points in their careers. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!
