Cinematographer/Producer Jordan Levy returns to the show and he brings Director Michelle Kath Sinclair with him. Michelle’s debut feature documentary is “Chicago: The Terry Kath Experience”, a delightfully charming search for her guitar-shredding father, a founding member of Chicago, who died when Michelle was two years old.

We chat about how the film came to be, the technical and legal challenges and more. We also explore the wonderful, healing effect making the film had on the surviving bandmates.

Rent, steam or buy the film here.

Happy Holidays,

Jordan

My guest is the charming Mark Androw, Executive Producer of STORY, a long-thriving production company he owns. Mark has dominated the spot business for many years, and he passionately explains just what an Executive Producer does. The EP, in tv commercial parlance, is the life-blood of the commercial production company. He/she develops the directorial roster, the business end of things and maintains the relationships with ad agencies, among many things.

Mark also loves living and shooting in Chicago, and explains why. Aspiring Production Assistants should know that the AICP has a free PA seminar April 30, 1026 in Chicago. Click here for more info. Or email Mark directly at mark@storyco.tv – crazy nice huh?

Commercial Directing Bootcamp is next Saturday in Manhattan and I am thrilled with the quality of filmmakers that are attending. Still room for you, if you’re special.

Thanks,

Jordan
