  • Episode 25 - Talent vs. Hustle
    Apr 8 2025

    On today's episode of the J-WAT Podcast, Producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake sit down and talk about the balance of talent vs. hustle. So often we see incredibly talented people not reach their true potential because they lack the hustle of putting themselves out there and proving they have what it takes. Alex was inspired to cover this topic after hearing a speech while watching "Entourage" where Ari has a heart to heart with Turtle telling him how to make something of himself.

  • Episode 24 - Planning for What's Next
    Mar 18 2025

    On today's episode of the J-WAT Podcast, producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake chat about how to plan for your future. When you're making your current film, all anybody seems to want to know is, "What's Next?" The next film we're about to embark on came by happenstance because we were ready to answer that question. The more you build your career, the more people will approach you and be interested in working with you, but maybe your current project isn't what they're interested in. If you have other projects, especially in a variety of genres, this can help you be more versitle in knowing what you're doing next, as well as make you more attractive to potential financiers and studios. Alex and Tim breakdown how they continue to plan for what's next while staying focused on their current project at hand.

    *Please note, yes, we are aware that there is a weird audio issue on Watson's audio that gives him an occasional echo. We have no idea why it does this from time to time and it was not able to be removed as there was no echo or noise print for it.
