Just Shoot It: A Podcast about Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Directing

Jon Kroll is an accomplished EP on unscripted shows like Amazing Race, Big Brother, American Grit. He joins us to talk about season 2 of his new show Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey (out now on Nat Geo). He regales us with globetrotting stories, how to get incredible B-roll and what it takes to transform a good idea into a series on TV. It's literally one of my favorite episodes we've done, and I'm sure you'll have a great time listening. It may just cure that wanderlust we're all suffering from for a few days. - MattContribute to the Just Shoot It Patreon and help support the show.Send feedback or questions to @justshootitpod or justshootitpod@gmail.com.Follow Matt on twitter and instagram.Follow Oren on twitter and instagram.Wanna be on the show?
