Margo's Got Money Troubles DP Tari Segal, ASC approached the show with spontaneity, intimacy, and a creative way to bring static backdrops to life. Margo's Got Money Troubles follows a young woman navigating an unexpected pregnancy, a complicated family, and some very creative ways to pay the bills. It’s one of the most visually inventive comedies currently streaming. Tari shot four of the show's episodes.

Key Podcast Highlights:

-How Tari and the team built a shooting style rooted in spontaneity that allowed the actors freedom of movement on set.

-Using actual licensed music piped into the crew's headset and actors earpiece so the camera could keep tempo with the final cut.

-Developing the visual language of the show, sometimes shifting from handheld, Steadicam, and studio modes {X} in the same scene.

-Shooting the entire Vegas episode in just three days, and the practical tricks Tari used to make four-walled L.A. sets read convincingly as Las Vegas.
