Episode 39: Directing Great Television: A Crossover with the Just Shoot It Podcast!

Let's Shoot! with Pete Chatmon

This week we have a special crossover podcast with the good folks over at JUST SHOOT IT.
Pete sat down with Matt Enlow and Oren Kaplan for a second time to chat episodic directing television and how he's been bringing his unique vision to projects since they last talked in August of 2020.
When three directors get together things go super in depth, up, down, and sideways. Enjoy!
