The Creative Struggle Part 1
Let the venting and honesty begin. Sometimes as creatives whether it be filmmaking, writing, acting or anything else, we need to talk about our chosen career paths.

We talk to Chris Kelly and Marissa Serrano to get an insider's and outsider's take on some issues.

Working with SAG AFTRA
SEASON ONE FINALE!!! Have you've ever wondered about working as an actor on your own project? I know I have! I got concerned about overtime and what that meant to my project. This episode is for the actor and filmmaker who needs to know about SAG-AFTRA and what that really means for their production. I spoke to a representative from the Miami branch since I am here in Florida. We cover a lot of filmmaking and social media questions so it's great for everyone.
