Ep. #9: "Ted Lasso" with 1st ADs James Blackwell, Sophie Worger and Jim Imber

This episode features the American Apple TV sports comedy series "Ted Lasso" developed by Jason Sudeikis who also plays the lead role of Ted.

We are talking to the three British 1st ADs James Blackwell, Sophie Worger and Jim Imber about the art of "letting go" as an AD, scheduling an entire series on beat sheets and not on scripts. But also about working with guest directors like Zach Braff, bringing real life football clubs to the big screen and why the American and British way of spending a film budget is quite different. Would you have guessed that the locker room scenes were the most difficult to shoot? Find out why on this episode.

Sit back and enjoy this very fun conversation with James, Sophie and Jim!
