Faran Moradi secured funding from Telefilm in 2018 after writing the script in one month while still working full time as a first assistant editor at Sinking Ship Entertainment. We chat about the wild world of creating art including securing locations, the variety of jobs on set, working with ACTRA actors, and what it takes to create a feature film while still working full time. Other topics include the unconventional ways to get into the creative media industry, what it took to get his parents on board with his dream of being a filmmaker and how Faran's Iranian background motivates much of his art.

The J-Cut Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by me - independent filmmaker Mike Chantaj - where I sit down to talk with other creative people about their careers, passions and lives. The hope is to expand people's ideas about what kinds of creative careers are out there, be it in film, art, music and more.
