No Place Like Home

Noelle Stehman (Show Runner) and Cale Thomas (Makeup Artist) join us in our final episode this season to talk about StayInLA and their petition to reform permits among other ways to keep film and TV production in Los Angeles. StayInLA.org  |  @StayInLA2025   In this Season 2 finale, Danny and Aaron are excited to talk with representatives of the StayInLA movement born of the devastating fires that began 2025. Noelle and Cale give practical examples of how to inspire change in our cities and what regular members of the community can do to be a part of that change. Join us for a wonky and inspiring conversation about why productions are leaving, how city leadership can make it easier to shoot here and what the future could look like if we pull back the curtain and demand the changes necessary to revive the once dynamic and world-renowned film industry in Los Angeles.
