Lighter Darker The ILM Podcast

Lighter Darker The ILM Podcast

I’ve been enjoying producing and co-hosting Lighter Darker: The ILM Podcast with Todd Vaziri. We dive into the creative process of filmmaking and the art of visual storytelling. Shining on a light on the creatives behind the scenes has been a real blast and I’m very proud of the show we’ve created together.

If you’re looking for a good episode to start with, I recommend our chat with acclaimed filmmaker Lee Issac Chung and Producer Ashley Jay Sandberg where we dive into Twisters, or the Ultraman Episode with Shannon Tindle.

You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our YouTube Channel.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.
