micro budget

In this episode, we're headed to the wild wild west; the Pacific Northwest to be specific. Conner Wayne Brown comes with an extensive knowledge of the performing arts. Whether it's acting in a lead role, directing stage plays and musicals, or teaching acting to children of all ages, this man lives and breathes theater (or, going by the more politically correct term, "thespian"). Conner's career in stage directing was on the up and up until it came to a sudden stop following the events of the pandemic. With the dreams and ambitions of art and directing still in mind, he moved to filmmaking as a way to continue his goals. With a lot of talented acting connections from past colleagues and a little help from the criterion collection, he's brought his knowledge from stage directing to make features and shorts with a micro budget approach to filmmaking. Now obviously, as Jannik and Hayden are such great hosts, we ask the real pressing questions and get to the heart of what it means to be a director and the hopes to answer the true meaning of art... I'm just joking. We mostly just joke around and try to out-funny one another. It's definitely worth a listen. There's a lot of heart in this episode even if we're just a bunch of wild and crazy guys.

Here's a link to a short Conner recently made about his Father:
