Boyd’s hilarious short, NIGHT SESSION, well into its festival run at the Iron Mule Film Festival. </p><p>I won’t say anything about it for fear of spoiling the fun, so you should watch the Omeleto YouTube video link below! </p><p>It’s eleven minutes of hilarity.</p><p>Night Session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tBgnvqhSRII knew that I wanted to dig into Ballard’s approach to screen comedy, so we found some time to talk about the short, his decade working at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, directing commercials, and getting his start making sketch comedy on YouTube.HOW I SHOOT is a series of conversations between Alan McIntyre and filmmakers, cinematographers, and other film workers.For more HOW I SHOOT episodes and essays: https://wtfstop.substack.com/About the host: Alan McIntyre is a cinematographer, teacher, and filmmaker based in New York City.
