We go deep into creativity and self-doubt in this episode. Talking about what would possess a 19 year old in Calgary to make a feature film for no money, and then to do it three more times in and out of film school. We then go into the big career and personal perspective shifts Brendan faced after looking back on his career in the face of new challenges. The newest phase of Brendan's career is sure to produce his best work yet, and I'm beyond excited to see it. This conversation was so very valuable to me as I embark upon my own first feature. Enjoy!

2.9- Saige Carlson
Saige Carlson is one my favorite people in the whole world. She’s a photographer, actor, and all around artist who I have been lucky enough to be friends with for the better part of a decade.
This conversation goes to a lot of vulnerable places, particularly about body image and the entertainment industry. It’s also the rawest, most in-depth interview on this podcast so far and I’m very proud of that.
Follow Saige’s photography account at @saigecarlsonphotography she’s great at what she does and you’d be blessed to work with her. Enjoy.

2.8 Alex Shamku
Hope everyone's Shits N' Giggles hangover is going well!
I've wanted to do an episode with Alex Shamku for a very long time. His name is synonymous with quality on-set sound in the indie film world. The first question that I always ask when that department comes up is "Is Shamku available?" He is a pillar of our community and a great person to boot.
I have so much admiration for Alex as an observer of our industry. He has been on countless sets in every genre you can imagine, and he also watches more films than anyone I know. Just in the month of September, you can catch him at VIFF watching 30-50 films.
As a local film nerd I find his perspective so valuable and I hope you do too. We go all over the place in this episode. As you can imagine, thanks to Alex's mics this is the best sounding episode of VanShitty.
Truly an essential listen and an episode I am very proud of as a part-time Podcaster.
Also check out my story! All the SNG films are online. Please watch them and revel in our little community and the amazing creativity and vulnerability on display!
