From designer to actor to director - Porteus Xandau

Loading player...
In our 18th episode of The Resourecast we talk to director Porteus Xandau. Porteus is a commercials director working with agencies and brands, and is represented by Carbon Films. Porteus gives us some insight into the difficulties production companies have been facing in the pandemic, as well as some of the solutions they're working on. He also covers his journey to directing, which has zig-zagged across graphic design and acting in the 2012 production of Dredd. Sidenote: We're heading for our 20th episode right now, at which point we believe we'll have covered a lot of ground. After two seasons of ten episodes, we'll be putting The Resourcecast onto the backburner to pursue new podcasting projects. I'll keep paying for the podcast to stay live because I think the content is evergreen, but we'll only post new episodes when we've got something important or particularly awesome to cover. Hope everyone out there is safe and getting some damn work!
