Cinematographer Brandon Cox discusses how to stay creative during the ongoing WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) Strike with the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) and how this strike is hardest on the hundreds of thousands of below the line crew workers.

With the Strike exceeding 100 days already, how much longer will the industry be able to hold on? How can young filmmakers create an independent film revival and what can we learn from production companies like A24 who have met the SAG requests and continue to function.

In this episode, Brandon discusses his film inspirations, collaborating with legends, and how to take care of your circle.  With Wall St capturing the film industry, how are filmmakers to survive?
