This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark follow the lead of Robert Diaz LeRoy, a movie magician (Director, Producer, Writer) with a fascinating new short film called “A Dance with Light” that we’re premiering on our new YouTube channel. Listen to our conversation first, and then hop on over to YouTube so you can view his amazing work. His production team put the project together while running their equipment entirely on energy efficient batteries! That’s just the beginning… you’re one click away from a full access backstage pass! We hope you enjoy this look behind the curtain as much as we did.

You can watch his fantastic short film through our channel here:

This week on “The Tie In,” Zena and Mark chat with Todd Lapp, an experienced gaffer working on high profile TV shows like “The Man in The High Castle.” Todd is always striving for innovation, and if there’s a cost benefit to implementing important sustainable electricity, then he pushes for its use on production. Our team really likes this interview, and we think it is a great reminder to us all that positive change is possible.

We’re thrilled to release our conversation with friend of the pod and powerhouse producer and gaffer, Kerri Coombs (@kerri.coombs) of FireDance Media. Kerri was one of the first guests who agreed to hop on our pod, and this tracks with who she is as a person. Kerri is always the first individual to stand up for nature, oppressed people, and the welfare of our worldwide community. Learn and laugh along with us as Kerri tells us what productions can do to become more sustainable. Lights, camera, electrical, ACTION!

We’re so thankful to Kerri for joining us and being so insightful about the future of production management. We are also thankful to all listeners who help us celebrate her admirable dedication with the rest of the world.
