In this episode of Colon Slash, I interview Pawi Bitanga. Pawi is a storyteller through and through. His love of storytelling permeates every fiber of his being: from a career in filmmaking, to a side project as a children's book writer. It shines through his style of dance, and even the way he interacts with other people.

In the interview, we talk about his origins in storytelling, some lessons he's learned, and of course some interesting tangents, including a surprising amount of tangents about childhood.

Also, Pawi has his own podcast called The Small Break! In it, he has conversations with filmmakers who have just produced their first feature films. They cover everything from writing through distribution, whether in movie theaters or on Netflix and Amazon. The Small Break sheds light on the step-by-step processes that go into launching an independent film. It’s pretty geared towards a particular audience, but even as someone from outside the filmmaking world, it was pretty interesting. It can be found anywhere that iTunes podcasts can be found.

So give it a listen, after you listen to this episode of course, and let us know what you think! Rate our podcasts on iTunes if you liked them!
