Featured Guests:

Joe Mischo is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker who enjoys trail running, subversive cinema, and the sound a combustion engine makes, tearing ass through the 110 tunnels below Dodger Stadium. Born in Indiana and raised in Wisconsin, Joe is a son of the American heartland. As a child, he wasn't pointing a camera or standing in front of one; he was the blabber-mouth recruiting neighborhood talent to help tell his stories. Not much has changed since then. "When I was six, I destroyed my grandfather's brand new Hi8 camcorder by blasting him in the face with a super soaker. This work is my atonement."

Matt Hoodhood was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI where his fascination with light began. He studied Cinematography at Columbia College Chicago and has been living in Los Angeles since 2014 where he enjoys the great outdoors, playing folk music on the banjo, and photography (Todd Hido, Alex Webb, and Diane Arbus are some of his favorites).

Erin Kobrin is a Los Angeles-based wardrobe stylist and costume designer known for crafting distinctive looks across fashion campaigns, editorials, music projects, and narrative storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the visionary artistry of Colleen Atwood and the rebellious elegance of Vivienne Westwood, Erin brings a bold and imaginative perspective to every project. Her work seamlessly blends creativity and precision, delivering unforgettable style that captivates and resonates.
