Filmmaker Liz Hinlein Directs Commercials, Branded Films, VR and Features With Aplomb & Grace.

Director Liz Hinlein shares how she has successfully navigated her career making brand films, VR gigs, tons of spots and her feature, “Other People Children.” You’ve seen Liz’s Dove Real Beauty starring Shonda Rhimes, I promise. We chat about the commonality in directing these various gigs, staying humble while leading, and the fun in teaching others when we’ve learned. And because she’s also a talented cinematographer, she gives y’all plenty of tech talk in this episode. Check out these spots or see her reel at her shoppe Durable Goods:
