Ep43 - A Conversation with the Art School Drop Outs
Season 1, Ep. 43
•
Welcome back to another "A Conversation With" style episode! This time we are talking with the amazing co-leads of The Art School Drop Outs! Independent film makers that carved out a space for themselves using the power of YouTube as well as being a part of the larger film and entertainment industry. Joey Min and Stephanie Pham give us the breakdown of what it takes to keep up this guerrilla approach to film production, what makes it different and why they do it.
We also talk about the industry as a whole and discuss our thoughts on a few trends we've noticed throughout the years.
