Filmmaker and actor Jess Paul and I dish on indie films and the dark side of the industry while she is wearing a croissant on her head. It makes sense.

Creator's Challenge: Go watch an indie filmmaker's film
Watch what your filmmaker friends are making and where their creative heart lies and create a connection by telling them what you liked about it. "What did you make?" Go to a film festival and get inspired!
Bio & Intro
My guest Jess Paul is an actor, filmmaker, and fake food-maker. Jess was the female lead in the Sundance Film Festival Selection, "The Immaculate Reception," a beautiful coming of age piece set in her home city of Pittsburgh. She has won multiple best actress awards, including the Margaret Anne Garza award at the Austin Revolution Film Festival for her work as the leading character in the AI themed feature film "Galatea."
Jess got her start by self-producing the YouTube comedy news show "Wrecked Radio News" which went on to her getting more than 3 million views, a YouTube Partnership, and an international fan base. She pivoted to acting and filmmaking, where she is an indie darling known for multiple award winning films that have made the circuits, including "A Funny Man", Revry.TV's "Promenade" and her current short, "Burying Baby" which is already doing well on the festival scene. Luckily for me, she has also had commercial success because she met my former guest Jeremy Urann on set and came into my world!
In addition to her acting and filmmaking career, Jess is a talented visual artist who has found a niche specializing in hyper realistic wearable fake food.
