Film Folk Lore
Every week, Jed Props, Justin Sound, Heather Rae Costumes, Zoe Props, and Chris AD talk with other industry professionals on a variety of topics. We focus on specific job positions: what do they do, how did they get there, what advice can they share? Round tables: topical discussions like the recent strikes, the movie Rust, navigating the production assistant world, and much more! And who knows? Maybe we spill a little tea, as we explore the real world behind the camera that is often overlooked by Hollywood, as the real gears that move the entertainment industry forward. Whether you’re an industry professional or just a fan of movies, join us and get the greatest window ever shown to life and work behind the scenes.
