Making TV with Deepti Menon

Deepti Menon is an actress, animator, and filmmaker whose work spans music videos, commercials with companies including Nike, Facebook and Converse, and TV roles on Law & Order (NBC), The Equalizer (CBS), and I Think You Should Leave (Netflix). In today’s episode, Deepti shares her honest insight into the entertainment industry as a performer and creator and discusses:

How she booked her television roles (and her thoughts on having an agent)
Realizing her career in animation satisfied her pull towards acting and directing
The pros and cons of self-taping, and what shifted when she went to in person auditions
Being treated extremely differently on set when she was a PA versus when she was talent
Creating a web series with almost no budget, and hoping that project shows others what she’d be capable of with more money, support and resources
Her dreams of being a showrunner (which is absolutely inevitable for this wonderful artist)
Finding, and using, her voice on set and behind the scenes
