Filmmaking Insights: Success & Challenges with Alex Mallis

I took a break from my road trip last week so I’m releasing an interview with my friend, filmmaker Alex Mallis, whose feature film The Travel Companion premiered at Tribeca earlier this year. We talk about the highs and lows of getting a first feature into a major festival, politics in New York, the joy of creating something for its own sake, and (yes) selling fart sounds as NFTs during COVID lockdown.
