This week’s episode of the Beernuts Productions podcast is a touch different. A few weeks back I went onto social media (make sure to follow Beernuts Productions on all the socials if you’re not already) and asked you to ask me questions, which I would answer in an upcoming episode and this is it. After all, I’ve been asking others questions for so long, I thought it was only fair to put myself in the hot seat. Well you guys came back with a range of brilliant questions. Questions about films I’ve made. My casting process.  My thought process in regards to filmmaking. My inspirations. Plus a few fun personal questions for good measure. The amazing Craig Ingham assisted in recording this episode and of course he puts in his two cents as well. Hopefully I answered everyone’s questions to their liking and it is an episode you’ll all enjoy listening too as well.
