In this bonus episode of onefjef, I welcome back my dear friend Chris Casey—the very first listener to email the show, thereby winning the infamous email contest. Chris shares a heartfelt “acceptance speech,” a story about proving his mother wrong, and a perspective on seizing one's destiny (with AirPods and a $6 coffee in hand). We play his original voice memo, talk about prizes, party-crashing in Columbus, film festivals, self-driving cars, and why social media makes everything worse.

Also: a new contest is announced—just email a photo to onefjefpod@gmail.com and you, too, might win a prize. Everyone’s eligible… except Chris, who’s already cashed in.

As promised, here's a link to my first film, made in 2007 for zero dollars: onefjef.com/portfolio/suite
