Zane Rubin has a voice unto herself. Maybe that's because she mostly writes, directs and stars in her series for places like Comedy Central and Superdeluxe, but there's something else to it. In our interview with Zane we talk about how she came to become a serious filmmaker early in life, how she's overcome being rejected by tons of festivals, and found a group of incredible actors to collaborate with. Zane is a unique, exciting, hilarious filmmaker with her own take on filmmaking. Take a listen! This episode is sponsored by Shot Lister, the better way to make your day.

When Rightor Doyle was a young New York actor he had no idea his stint as a bodyguard for a dominatrix would eventually inspire his own hit Netflix show. He's taken all his experience as a working actor (notably as Nick on Barry) and writer, and poured it into his latest work, Bonding. As writer and director, we talk about his decision to step behind the camera, and how he managed to elevate a digital series to a show for Netflix. Visit Plotdevices.Co to get your very own story clock workbook and other awesome filmmaking tools.
