Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to another episode of The IMPROVE Podcast.

Are you ready for a more specific updates on additional topics because that is what I have for you today! You should be ready for more infrequent podcast and fewer guests (please cut me some slack, we are friends after all). You should keep yourself busy, because it’s better to be busy than bored, and you should read Joseph Campbell’s The Hero With A Thousand Faces.

Also, I apologize if I was too goofy this week. It won’t happen again!

You should achieve your goals this week!

DAWN (CLSC Studios Version) is coming out December 2023!

If you feel compelled to share your story, shoot me an email at [email protected]! It would be great to hear from you!

Hello friends, welcome back to The IMPROVE Podcast!

This is episode seven in a recurring series on the podcast where we catch up with Elijah who is a student studying film in Italy and is producing his first short film. After having connected on Reddit’s r/screenwriting almost a year ago, I wrote his short film and together we are capturing that experience as it happens, giving insight into a niche of the filmmaking genera, that almost every writer, director, and filmmaker has had to do – creating their first film.

In this episode, Elijah and I recap the last few weeks of post-production. We cover editing, post production and lessons learned to be applied for pre-production!

I hope you enjoy!

What are your goals for this week? What are your goals for this week? What are you working toward?!
