In today’s episode, I interview Deborah Lee Smith and Brian Leahy, producer, star, writer, and director of the short film “Glitterbomb,” which follows a woman through a harrowing situation while she tries desperately to keep her composure on a virtual job interview.
Listen to hear about Deborah’s real life experience that inspired the film, the incredible achievement of an extremely small crew that worked on the film on a very tight timeline, and the logistics of shooting one of the best one-shots I’ve seen in a long time.
