About this episode
Filmmakers Dennis Cahlo and Bethany Watson join Adam and Joe to discuss the making of their new series THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA (now streaming on Screambox). From meeting on a podcast and getting together romantically… to making the decision to leave previously established careers and become full time filmmakers… to making short films together before putting together a mock trailer to sell their vision for THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA… to pulling off the feat of shooting their 6 episode series with extremely limited resources, a tiny crew and only 19 days… to the casting of their fully non-union cast and the careful planning that went into making each day of filming… to working with Screambox and the pressure they put on themselves wanting to make sure that the platform's first original series was a success… to the ins and outs of co-directing and co-producing effectively as a couple… to the hurdles of working with practical effects when there is often only one take to get it right, Dennis and Bethany's accomplishment with TESSA is one that will surely inspire other filmmakers to find their own way to make big things happen.
