In the first First Time Go live episode -- it streamed on YouTube -- I talk with the creators of 'A THOUSAND SUNS'. (You can watch the series here.) I was joined by:
MacGregor (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2021435/)
Tim Hyten (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2719211/)
Ruairi Robinson (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1099711/?...)
Tyson Wade Johnston (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4098234/?...)
We talk about how this series and model got started and the authentic nature of the films; the role shorts play in a director's career and whether this can be a new model; AI in filmmaking; episode specific questions; and what's next for these ultra-talented filmmakers. If MacGregor is to be believed, expect them to be living in Iceland and making 200 more.
Those kind of jokes made this a fantastic way to record an episode. I look forward to having more live episodes.
