Episode 5: "Rejecting Trends, Pursuing Vulnerability" with Director/Writer, Samm Hodges

In episode five, writer/director Samm Hodges gives us a deep dive into his journey of pursuing vulnerability as a filmmaker. Much of this podcast is told through the context of Samm’s first narrative short film as a writer/director, “Tender”, being accepted into the Sundance Film Festival. Samm's Bio:  After turning a web series into a network tv show, Samm sold a drama series to producers Pete Berg and Michael Lombardo (Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones, etc), sold the in-development doc series “Us and Them” to Jon Stewart and HBO, wrote a narrative feature for Michael Showalter (Search Party, The Big Sick, Wet Hot American Summer), sold the currently in-development half-hour drama “Strays” to Amazon, and is writing a new feature/episodic interactive hybrid for Stay Gold Features (Honeyboy, Harriet, Nanny, Under the Silverlake).
