Julian Sol Jordan is on the pod this week! We talk about Robert Rodriguez's book Rebel Without A Crew, tying it into Julian's experience making his debut film, Real Life. We discuss the influence of Robert Rodriguez, the challenges of funding a film, and the value of working with limited resources. The conversation also touches on the balance between artistic integrity and commercial viability in filmmaking, as well as the significance of spontaneity and happy accidents in the creative process.
