  • A few years ago, James attended Masters in Motion, a filmmaking workshop held every December in Austin, TX. It is a rare opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s best minds and to network with other like-minded individuals. There, he met the workshop’s co-founder, Jon Connor, who is also a filmmaker, writer, and editor. He also is the producer for the workshop’s Art Vs. Commerce podcast. Today, we sit down with Jon and talk about his experiences in filmmaking, as well as how “Masters” was conceived. Once again joining James in co-hosting duties is rBM producer Chris “Tico” Crawford.
