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.
