In today’s episode, I interview Matt Kennard, director of the short film “Before You Go,” which tells the story of a young man who visits a loved one in the hospital to say his final goodbyes.
Listen to hear about Matt’s thoughts on what seems like a rise in films set in hospitals, how he found his incredible lead actor, and the role that sound plays throughout the film.
