In this week’s podcast we discuss the before and the after of realizing a project. In it, I consider the logistics of when to print out my manuscript, and Angie reflects on her almost picture locked film Lost in the Middle. We chat about the limitations of technology and the need to prioritize, as well as what we have learned throughout our own processes. I also ask Angie about what she would keep in mind for the next project while recognizing the reality of deadlines.
