About this episode
Lauren chats with producer Drew Langer about the grind behind great filmmaking and the importance of kindness on set.
Misfits Makin’ It is the podcast component of the misfit comedy shows produced by Lauren LoGiudice. Show dates and info at www.laurenlogiudice.com In this episode Lauren chats with with producer and First AD Drew Langer about the real grind behind great filmmaking. We talk about what he learned working alongside creatives like Jay Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Lynn Shelton, Bridget Everett, and Michael Strassner. Drew shares how creative tribes are built, why the Duplass motto is “no assholes,” and how kindness and preparation make for the best sets. We focus on Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Somebody Somewhere, and The Baltimorons, exploring the courage it takes to choose sincerity over spectacle. It’s a candid conversation about collaboration, humility, refining your craft, and why — as Drew puts it — the end result is just evidence of the grind.
