So interesting to hear your take on "not making your thing the only thing." I completely relate to this, having made a couple of short films and web series in the past that got a lot of attention and meetings, but they ended up putting me in a box that didn't match up to the samples I had. Much as I fight the "brand" idea sometimes, there is a truth to making work that aligns with your other work
Great post and great Q n A. It was like a lightning round masterclass--the perfect balance

So true. Where can I see these shorts, though!
I appreciate you asking! Here are a couple:
- THE APPLICANT web series (action/thriller): YouTube.com/theapplicantseries
- WILEY VS RHODES (live-action cartoon) https://youtu.be/ZQ5p9WttVhE

Making my own stuff is the only reason I have a career. Loved this and am going to share it in my roundup Sunday!
