Improvisational genius/comic actor Pat Finn is on this very special episode! Pat and I have been collaborating together for almost 20 years making on Valley Toyota spots, and it's always a blast. Agency folks always like casting actors that can improv, but Pat is next level. And he happens to be the one of the top three nicest humans in Hollywood. From sitcoms "Seinfeld" and "The Middle" to films "It's Complicated" and more, Pat Finn creates memorable characters on screen and a lasting impression in person. Pat shares hilarious stories, like sneaking into an improv class at Second City with Chris Farley. You'll learn what it's like to work with this comedic genius up close. Directors, take notes because Pat gives some great advice for us on how to get the most out of improvisors.. Even after all these years in the business, I'm still learning from Mr. Finn. So whether you're an aspiring actor, seasoned director or just love a good laugh, this is an interview you don't want to miss. Retreat Curious?

Wow! What a fun, productive talk with Bradley Johnson, Managing Director and EP at Seed Media Arts, and Seed Director Matthew Underwood. We discuss Matthew's spec spot for Chevy titled "Follow Your Own Road" - including the process of developing the script, shooting it on location in Utah, and editing it down from an initial long cut.

Part two, the exciting conclusion to my chat with Filmmaker Nema Vand. Presently, he is directing commercials at VaynerMedia and Eva Nosidam, the in-house production unit. A turning point came when Nema documented Mike Winkelmann's (Mr. Beeple) historic NFT sale, which gained him recognition as a storyteller and director. Now, Nema's goal is to direct feature films. As most directors start in commercials, Nema sees an opportunity in short form content on TikTok. Over the next year, Nema plans to create a series of narrative short films for TikTok completely independent of any brands. His aim is to attract an engaged audience and build a portfolio that shows off his storytelling skills. With proof of his abilities on the platform, Nema hopes to land brand partnerships that will help fund his transition into filmmaking. A great idea if ya ask me. Enjoy part two.
