Filmmaker & artist, Byron Von, joins me on 8pl8s to talk about his documentary series Looking Awry, his previous project Fully Loaded, the spiritual pitfalls of self-proclaimed artists, sneaky techniques to book guests and collaborators, removing yourself from your work, and a myriad of smaller subjects blossoms from there. Byron is an incredibly pleasant person to talk to, and I feel like this is an episode I would have loved to hear a few years back when I started creating. Enjoy!!

Part 2, related to the work and legacy of Anthony Bourdain, will be released next week.
