William began his filmmaking journey in music videos and comedy sketches. Soon, his skills were requested on large commercials and intense documentaries for seasoned directors. However, long before a camera was placed in his hands, he fell in love with the writing process in grade school, and that creative bug never left.

His background in basketball and surfing served him well, as persistence and practice forged an iron work ethic. William is also passionate about mixed media and third spaces. He helped produce the incredible stage & film presentation TRUE that showcased just how powerful these events can be when art and commerce connect.

Cinematographer Pithai Smithsuth is on an incredible path. As a child he visited David Fincher's set for Panic Room, and was blown away by the problem solving exhibited by the crew.

He started filming skate videos for his friends, and his skills continued to grow.

Then he went into a completely different field, first into music, then commiting to and graduating from aviation school.

But he never forgot the wonder he experienced on Fincher's set. He began line producing in Thailand and one day the cinematographer was held up on a flight and he was given his big break, which led to a Vimeo Staff Pick. Pretty soon, Nike came calling and he filmed multiple pieces for them in Thailand.

Then he began and incredible run including Da Five Bloods with Spike Lee, Killers of the Flower Moon with Martin Scorsese and Rodrigo Prieto, and the Creator with Greig Fraser, Oren Soffer, and Gareth Edwards.

If you're familiar with the film industry, you know that it is common for a job to appear the moment you purchase a plane ticket out of town. This is exactly what happened to Pithai when he and his family set out to return to the United States. This time, the call was for White Lotus Season 3, and Pithai would be working alongside a DP he long admired; Ben Kutchins.

Harrison Norris is an incredible Creative who can be seen in Furiosa : a Mad Max Saga as Hazz the Valiant. In fact, he received four on screen credits for his work on Furiosa. His story is a fascinating one, growing up on film sets with his family and branching out in many creative fields.

He has been able to save various Studios massive amounts of money through his tech prowess. We discuss PROXI and how the company revolutionizes the way in which a huge, action sequence can be prepared.

Now, Harrison is in the process of bringing his original pieces to fruition. His experiences with Director George Miller and his father, 2nd Unit Director Guy Norris, have proven to be invaluable in his own journey as a writer and director.

Cinematographer Brandon Cox discusses how to stay creative during the ongoing WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) Strike with the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) and how this strike is hardest on the hundreds of thousands of below the line crew workers.

With the Strike exceeding 100 days already, how much longer will the industry be able to hold on? How can young filmmakers create an independent film revival and what can we learn from production companies like A24 who have met the SAG requests and continue to function.

In this episode, Brandon discusses his film inspirations, collaborating with legends, and how to take care of your circle.  With Wall St capturing the film industry, how are filmmakers to survive? 

David Baram is a graduate of Harvard Law who went on to run the premier talent management company in the film industry for nearly a decade.
