Podcast #28: Developing Movies + How to get around LA without a car
This episode I'm chatting with Justin Vesci, Director of Development at Silver Lion Films. He shares with us his interesting career path and what it takes to find success in LA. (Yes, that sometimes includes valeting at a sex club.) #hardcore #punny
Justin also mentions his own production company called 814 productions, and just in case you want to be in on the inside joke, 814 is the Penn State phone area code! What whaaattt.
