In today's episode we are joined by Michael Pressman. Michael reflects on a career spanning more than four decades in film and television. From directing features such as Boulevard Nights and Some Kind of Hero to producing and directing acclaimed series including Picket Fences, Law & Order: SVU, Blue Bloods, and Chicago Med, Pressman shares what it takes to tell compelling stories across changing formats and demanding production schedules.

As an anecdote, I like to mention how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secret of the Ooze & Bad News Bears in Breaking Training were both HUGE films for myself and my brother as we were growing up.

Thank you for listening. In today's episode I'm joined by filmmaking and the creatively gifted Jerry S. Gonzalez! Jerry is not only an incredible artist but also is huge on networking and helping to cultivate a collaborative community. This is reflected in the quality projects he either makes himself or assists in the creation process as a crew member.
