Vishaal Desai: Do not start a company right out of film school
<p>Vishaal Desai is a writer, director, and editor with over fifteen years of experience and a career that has taken him from Mumbai to London to Chicago. He's been a producer on the Asian Academy Award-winning series Bhak, directed the acclaimed documentary Uniting Through Yoga (crowdsourced from 500 strangers around the world with no script — yes, really), and is currently finishing post-production on his short film Clothes on Our Backs while also prepping his first stage production, Condemned to a Life, at The Second City in Chicago and Solo Fest in New York.</p><p>We get into what five years of commercials does to your soul, going back to film school at 39, why rehearsals are non-negotiable (but only for blocking), dream journals, being chased by a triceratops skeleton on a glacier, and the one piece of advice he'd give every filmmaker who just graduated. Also: pho in Vietnam, a waltz story, and a very important correction about Baby Yoda.</p><p>Follow Vishaal on Instagram at @V1SHFilms and follow Clothes on Our Backs at @clothes_on_our_backs.</p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p>Thank you to our sponsor, Joel Maisonet Photography: maisonetphotography.com</p>

Marco Rosas: Green tea and a psychological thriller
<p>Ever wonder what actually goes into editing a film? Like the real version, not the glamorous one? This week I sat down with Marco Rosas, a Mexican-American editor based in Los Angeles who has spent over a decade cutting everything from high-end commercials to HBO's Winning Time to Sender, a psychological thriller produced by Jamie Lee Curtis that premiered at SXSW 2026 and had critics calling out his editing by name. By name. In print.</p><p>We talk about how he went from a post house in Chicago to freelancing in LA to breaking into the union to cutting his first feature film. We talk about the editing style behind Sender, what it means to edit a performance, and why good editing is the thing you feel but can't always explain. We also get into the Chicago vs LA debate, green tea as a life philosophy, aliens, and the time he almost fainted in the edit bay and had to edit it anyway.</p><p>Marco is currently editing Strange but Perfect, a comedy drama coming soon. And yes, we asked about Pequod's.</p><p>Follow Marco on Instagram: @mrosas88</p><p>Hosted by <a href="https://ilsezachariasrivera.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ilse Zacharias Rivera</a>.
