In this BONUS episode, Hilliard produced a podcast for kick-ass TV/Film directors CARL SEATON (Snowfall, Supergirl, Batwoman, Chicago P.D, etc) and JEFF BYRD (Dynasty, Charmed, Black Lightning, Runaways, etc) as hosts and special guest, the great JOHN SINGLETON (Snowfall, Boyz in the Hood, Baby Boy, Rosewood and many others). This was the first director interview on Carl and Jeff’s podcast series — where the two interview their favorite directors and chop game on their careers and strategy behind the camera! At the time of the taping, the two became in-demand TV Directors, so we had to put the series on hold. Maybe 2020 will be the year we bring the series back?
