Weaving Intention Masterfully

Join Aaron and Danny for the final Recap episode of Season 2. We discuss our favorite things about "Weaving Intention Masterfully" with Tema Staig and the essential role of the art department. Three PAs (Clio Byrne-Gudding, Nalani Rodgers and Ethan Ravens) and Organizers join us for "United For Dignity" to talk about the vital role of a Production Assistant and how they started the first PA union. We recap Aaron's interview with sports producer and first time director Jon Hill in "Good Grief, Sports and Peace". Then we discuss our conversation with representatives from StayinLA (Cale Thomas and Noelle Stehman) on our final episode "No Place Like Home".

Noelle Stehman (Show Runner) and Cale Thomas (Makeup Artist) join us in our final episode this season to talk about StayInLA and their petition to reform permits among other ways to keep film and TV production in Los Angeles. StayInLA.org  |  @StayInLA2025   In this Season 2 finale, Danny and Aaron are excited to talk with representatives of the StayInLA movement born of the devastating fires that began 2025. Noelle and Cale give practical examples of how to inspire change in our cities and what regular members of the community can do to be a part of that change. Join us for a wonky and inspiring conversation about why productions are leaving, how city leadership can make it easier to shoot here and what the future could look like if we pull back the curtain and demand the changes necessary to revive the once dynamic and world-renowned film industry in Los Angeles.
