This week on the Tremendous Talk Podcast we are so excited to chat with Shal Ngo! Shal Ngo is the director of CONTROL FREAK - which follows a motivational speaker (Played by legendary Kelly Marie Tran) who is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head. CONTROL FREAK is streaming NOW on Hulu!

Shal Ngo was bitten by the film bug early! From carrying his family’s video camera on his shoulder, graduating from NYU and winning a SyFy Channel Film Contest, to mixing genres and blurring the line between art and entertainment - Shal is no stranger to bringing a story to life!

In this episode, we break down CONTROL FREAK on how he worked with his amazing team of artists and filmmakers to bring the film to life, writing authentic cultural touches into the story, the magic of horror movies, our shared love of practical effects, and truly shaping such a terrifying experience.
