Cut to Reveal

In this episode, Ricky and Piotr have a good conversation on the exciting world of outreach emails! And by these they mean reaching out to professionals you admire, who had a similar career trajectory as yours for advice/ guidance. Ricky mentions why it's not a easy and Piotr tells his own tale of successful outreach. Also, they talk about the short films "Clock" and "Appendage," short films that were turned into features. Plus Ricky gushes about "The New Look," a limited AppleTV series from the mind of Todd A. Kessler, about the rise of fashion designer Christian Dior & fall of Coco Chanel during and after WW2.
