Will is an old friend of Cary, but a recent friend of Ivan. Having met in Toronto during the 2016 Toronto Film Festival, him and another filmmaker Jay Reid, quickly formed a bond over gasmen. Having enough of people blowing hot air, they promised (drunkenly) each other to get their debut feature films in festivals one after the other. Will is the first one out of the three and at the point of this episode was about to go into principal photography of his debut film, Silent Night. At this point he's in post, whilst having just finished his pick ups. That's serious indie filmmaking. Ivan talks to Will about how he got from leaving school at 16 to working in TV to writing, directing and co-producing his first feature.

Coming from an engineering background, where he met Ivan at university, George has gone from working to Microsoft to becoming an Analytics and Technical Director at a Digital Marketing Agency and a Product Owner at a Technology company. He's busy, but Ivan and George knew each other as fresh face teenagers, who eventually were in a band 'Kid Karoshi' together that they founded with other uni friend, Amir. George has an understanding of data driven results and takes his learning in how aspiring filmmakers and creatives should think about the dirty world 'marketing' at the beginning of plotting your idea, than right at the end when you're putting the finishing touches to the sound mix.
