Welcome to Crash Zoom, a podcast where we take a deep dive into film and entertainment industry news!
Normally, you would join Rough Draft Atlanta Associate Editor Sammie Purcell and indie filmmaker Aaron Strand as they explore how things happening at the highest level trickle down and affect the independent artist. This week, with Sammie on vacation, Aaron invited actress, writer, and producer Imani Vaughn-Jones to serve as a special guest host. They discussed Disney and Universals lawsuit against Midjourney, the new film “F1,” and more.
