In today's episode, I interview Victoria Warmerdam and Trent, the director and producer of the short film "I'm Not a Robot," a story of a woman who discovers that she might just be a robot and how she deals with that realization.
Listen to hear about the inspiration for the film straight from Victoria's own experience, the wonderful music and sound design of the film, and one specific job that Trent had while on set.
