(Recorded 2/12/2022)Had a fun podcast with Lissa Carandang-Sweeney (Actress, Producer) and Michael Flynn (Writer, Director). We discussed their film Closed Seams, the catharsis that can come from playing characters even different from you, film vs digital and how people decades from now may look back and romanticize digital the way we look back and romanticize film, and much more!
