This is the second episode in our "Spotlight On" series, where I’ll be chatting with some of the coolest young screenwriters, directors, and other industry professionals in Hollywood using a less-structured format. Our goal is to spotlight excellent up-and-comers with unique experiences and perspectives on the industry. Episodes will premiere throughout the year (basically whenever we have one to air).

On this episode, I sat down with my good friend writer/director Jacob Baldy, whose new film 'Ryn' is an epic sci-fi blockbuster made with a budget of, wait for it, about $5000. We go deep on how to make a big genre film on a microbudget, how Jacob goes about writing his films, and our shared love of crappy cinema.
