This week on the show, I chat with the brilliant JJ Leach. She's a producer, assistant director, and one of the few people who truly understands both sides of the camera.
We met doing theatre, but it was on film sets where JJ really found her groove. With a background in psychology and a deep love for storytelling, she’s now the calm in the chaos. Running sets, lifting up directors, and creating safe, focused environments for actors to actually do their job.
We talk about finding your lane in the industry, what actors don’t understand about production, and how her empathy makes her a total weapon on set.
You’re gonna love this one.
