How to Keep Your Actors in the Moment & Where Not to Pitch Your Work [PODCAST]

Jon Fusco, Charles Haine, and yours truly, Liz Nord discuss the television NewFronts, and an alternative to YouTube where you might actually get paid for your work. We also share advice for directors, producers and cinematographers from industry pros in our newest segment: Weekly Words of Wisdom. As always, the show brings more news you can use about gear, upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
