Tammy Lane, founder of  @capernaumstudios9162  and creator of  @washingtonsarmor2989  joins Joey Nicotra and Shane Reitzammer on the Rough Cut Club podcast to discuss how she got started in filmmaking by following her faith. Listen in as we hear how her faith fueled journey into filmmaking took her to India, Africa, Central America and her first feature film, created at her own film studio near Weatherford, Texas. She discusses the importance of relationships, the impact of good audio and background actors to choosing the right crew members to mix peacefully on set.

Fun fact, our co-host Shane Reitzammer chose to go to India with Tammy in 2014 rather than taking a 9-5am video producer job and the rest is history - that you'll have to tune in to hear.

Come see her most recent work at the Independence Day Freedom Fest and check out her film sets while you are there! https://www.capernaumstudios.com/independencedayfreedomfest
