For our exciting second episode, we're joined by Colin West, an ~out of this world~ director known for incorporating Sci-Fi concepts into grounded drama. His short films have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, Vimeo Staff Picks, and Dust features. He's made two feature films, "Double Walker" and "Linoleum."

West discusses his upbringing in Colombus, OH, his decision to go to USC Grad Film, his struggles post-grad, and his journey to make "Double Walker" a reality. He has some great practical advice for first-time filmmakers looking to make their debut feature, especially when it comes to leaning into your available resources.

Stick around until the end of the episode to hear an update on host Alec C. Cohen's debut feature, "Petunia."
