The film office tour continues as I'm traveling from South Carolina up to North Carolina to talk with Guy Gaster about filmmaking in the other half of the Carolinas, how their incentive works and what you need to know about tea and BBQ in the state.

The mysteries continue to unravel on today's episode of The Producer Podcast as Jarod O'Flaherty, the producer/director of the Vindication Series, joins us again to unpack the making of season 3 of the show, it's future and what else he's been up to in the film industry.

Freelance or not to freelance.

Nobody likes failing. From the blow to your personal confidence to what people write and whisper about you behind your back, failure can be terrifying and petrifying.

Getting started is never easy, but the people that succeed the most at getting established are the ones that ask questions and learn from other's mistakes. That's why on today's highlights episode I'm talking with guests from seasons 6 & 7 of the show about what advice they would give to beginning career producers.

We're wrapping up season 8 of The Producer Podcast today with a new roundtable installment of the show as we look at the world of commercial/promotional film producing, including answering some listener submitted questions.

Where will the roundtable discussion take us? You'll have to listen to see.

Nothing beats the excitement of calling that's a wrap on the film you spent years making happen. Except maybe knowing that every single frame and take actually made it onto the hard drive for the editing room. That's where the DIT comes in to help safety your film; and contrary to popular belief it's a lot more than just hitting copy and paste a couple of times on your keyboard. Join me and Ben Geiser as we explore this often untalked about area of the industry.
