Season 2: Episode 6: The release of Darren's new horror film TWISTED (starring Lauren LaVera and Djimon Hounsou) is the occasion, as Darren and Josh discuss the dynamic tension between studio/producer notes and the director's vision, the urgency of promoting your own film, and how to edit under a deadline.

Join filmmakers Darren Lynn Bousman and Josh Stolberg as they pull back the curtain on the movie-making process.
