Hello, My name is Travis Myers and this is the  Hometown Hollywood Podcast.

Today’s guest is John Paul Summers, a director, and cinematographer from Abbeville Louisiana.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know JP over the past year or two. He’s a genuine, down to earth guy and I consider him one of my mentors whether he knows it or not.

He’s known for his work on a Paul McCartney Music video, the best satellite college commercial ever created (his LSUE ad),  his first feature ‘Sunday girl’ with Peter Ambrosio, and short films like “Today You, Tomorrow Me” directed by Chris Neal and the short film he directed recently, ‘When it Matters Most’.

In this interview, he tells about his experience making his first feature film Sunday Girl, what it means to be an artist, and how to develop connections in the film industry.

If you are wanting to get into the film industry or level up where you currently are and need some inspiration, you're going to want to save this podcast so you can reference back to it.
