For most successful filmmakers putting out a film that well received by an audience and your peers is the pinnacle of success on a project, but if your film then goes on to inspire others to jump into the fray and give proof to the mantra of ‘just get out there and shoot,' then you know you've got something very special on your hands. Director Ayz Waraich has both entertained and inspired with his short White Red Panic and joins us to discuss his call to arms film.
