On our big 300th episode, Liz and Alrik are very excited to welcome Sev Ohanian to the show - producer of films such as Fruitvale Station, Searching, Run, Judas and the Black Messiah and the upcoming Space Jam: A New Legacy! Sev talks to us about how he got started as a producer and what he learned producing a dozen features that lead to him writing/producing Searching which premiered at Sundance. This was a very deep and enlightening conversation that really goes to show what you can pull off with dedication and a lot of hard work! We also have filmmakers Larry Lavarety and Isaac Pingree on the show to talk about their latest film, Where Buffalo Roam, a short documentary about the endangered Yellowstone Buffalo. Lastly, Alrik and Liz finally answer the final five questions for themselves and talk about why they are filmmakers!
