They say in show business that you should never work with kids or animals. Today’s guest says otherwise. Well, at least in terms of working with kids. He’s Southwest Ohio-based director, Zach Daulton, and he joins us to talk about specializing in directing children. He’s directed commercials and short films that have made them the main focus and won numerous awards, including first place in the 2019 iFootage Creative Video Competition for “Lost in Static,” and Best Drama in 2019’s My RODE Reel competition for “Looking Back.” He brings his expertise in this week’s episode as part of Director’s Month.
