Director Nur Niaz is a talented filmmaker creating cozy and fun films for Samsung, Toyota, BMW, Coca-Cola, Red Bull and many more. I met Nur via another filmmaker’s instagram post of Nur’s work an d loved it. He’s living in his home country of Kazakhstan, yes it’s a real place, so we zoomed and you’ll love this chat. Equally as impressive as Nur’s work is his generous spirit in giving back, so in frequent in young filmmakers. Nur’s youtube channel is full of tips and tricks on how to make it as a filmmaker.

My cult classic mockumentary film, “Dill Scallion” is online for rent and I’m giving 100% of the gross money raised to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, in fact I’ll match it. Roger Ebert called it “The country music ‘This is Spinal Tap'” so that sums it up. All star cast and a great cause.
