Episode 209 is a conversation with up-and-coming commercial director Jonah Haber who has worked with companies like Microsoft and Fiverr. His thesis film went to several festivals all over the world and was picked up for distribution by DUST. More recently he’s directed musical performances for Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel live. We discuss his schooling experience, how he broke into the commercial world, and advice for young filmmakers on how to get the most out of their schooling experience, among other things.
Film Kid Asks is the podcast by film students for aspiring filmmakers. It centres the conversation around what we want to know going into the industry by digging into the origin stories and experiences of professionals working in film.
New episodes come out every Saturday.
