So the 7 day shootout went down last week. We were successful in turning in a short film on time. (praise the heavens) In this episode I discuss a few details about that short film.

Check out the 7 Day shootout as part of the KNOXVILLE FILM FESTIVAL from August 26-28th. Find more info at knoxvillefilmfestival.com
