I sit down with writer and producer Jon Zuber, who I first met on my debut feature film Killer Holiday. Jon shares stories from his 40+ year career in film & TV, his time living and working in Santa Barbara, and the making of his Emmy-winning documentary Stories in Time: Santa Barbara. Now based in Palo Alto, Jon reflects on balancing family life with creative work, the evolving entertainment landscape, and how to keep finding inspiration over the long haul.

Highlights:

• How Killer Holiday brought us together 🎬
• Lessons from 40+ years in entertainment
• The story behind his Emmy-winning Santa Barbara doc 🏆
• Moving to Palo Alto & pursuing new creative projects
• Reflections on staying inspired + collaborative in LA & beyond
