Whether it’s a lack of stimulus checks or strategically timed landscaping, everyone has a reason to be stressed right now. Host Mike Pecci is once again joined by Ass. Producer Liam D.

EP78 | Directing: Getting Your First Feature Film Made (Guest Grant Sputore)
All young filmmakers have the same goal. We spend every waking hour pushing toward it, every quiet moment thinking about it. How do I get my first feature film made? There is such a small percentage of people who actually make a full length film, and lets pretend for a minute that you just finished yours. You get into Sundance, it gets bought by Nextflix, and the fans give you a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes! Now what?!

EP76 | Looking Back At Liam's Favorite Soundbites From This Season
We have been putting out so many episodes recently, and so much incredible content, that I don't blame anyone for not being able to keep up with all of the new releases. In fact, with the Self-Quarantine Mini-Series being added onto the regular weekly release schedule, it's one hell of a commitment to stay up-to-date with everything ILWP is producing. Host Mike Pecci thought it would be a good idea to take a break from new content and see Ass. Producer Liam D. O'Brien's opinions on some of the episodes he's been part of since arriving in LA. This episode consists of Liam's favorite soundbites from Episodes 65 through 75.Quick Travel Guide:09:49 - EP65 | The Science of Cinematic Lighting (Guest Tim Kang of Quasar Science)19:33 - EP73 | Discovering the Cat's Butthole (Guest Shane Dering)28:02 - EP67 | Cinematography: Expanding Your Emotional Palette (Guest Oren Soffer)31:29 - EP75 | Post-It Spaceships & Designing For Star Wars (Guest Colie Wertz)46:36 - EP71 | Building Your Toolkit: The Dialect Coach (Guest Aaron Bluestein)51:13 - EP68 | Ash vs Evil Dead: How I Got The Gig (Guest Dana DeLorenzo)1:02:23 - EP74 | Creating A Bizarro World (Guests DJ7L & ESOTERIC of Czarface)1:13:34 - EP72 | The Power of Being Genuine (Guest Ted Sim)1:28:25 - EP70 | Killing The Banker (Guest Paul Pecci)1:39:01 - EP66 | The Life of a Hollywood Gaffer (Guest Mike Ambrose)2:01:35 - EP69 | The Porn Star (Guest Logan Pierce)Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodLiam D.

EP75 | Post-It Spaceships & Designing For Star Wars (Guest Colie Wertz)
Have you ever stood in line at a coffee shop and stared at your phone? Of course you have, and our guest, Colie Wertz, does that all the time.
