One night.  A scavenger hunt that’s supposed to feel like freedom, until the past forces its way into the open. Filmmaker Gregory Pellerito joins us to talk about ‘Moments Of Youth’ and what it really takes to finish an independent feature film when plan meets reality. If you love indie movies, coming-of-age stories, or the nuts and bolts of movie production, you’ll get a candid look at how a film goes from page to screen without a studio safety net.

Then we go deep on craft: how you shoot a story set over one night across multiple years, how he trims within scenes to protect pacing, and what happens when locations change or access disappears at the last minute. Gregory also explains his directing approach to improv, including getting a clean script take first and then letting great performers find extra laughs and texture.
