B Smith's Second Sticks - Lance Bowling

To say that Lance Bowling lived a hard scrabble life growing up in a trailer in the midwest might be underplaying it. From the time Lance's dad broke his alarm clock on his 18th birthday, and sent him out into the world with a loan of $50, it was on Lance to home his own destiny. B Smith's Second Sticks recounts his journey which led him to Los Angeles and finally his forays in to tv production. With "a 5D and a dream," Lance and his partner built up F22 studios from the humble beginnings in his garage to the new resplendent F22 Studio and Rental Equipment Space, complete with a large soundstage and the Hill Valley Podcast Studio, which our YouTube subscribers will see on this episode. Lance and I talked about our humble midwest beginnings, our meeting on Hell's Kitchen, battling and finding purpose to keep working through Covid, the current state of non-scripted production in Los Angeles both for workers and vendors, and the specter of A.I. as described by the evolution of an A.I. Will Smith eating spaghetti. It's quite the ride! Come join us in this new space and time.
