Trapping Time

Chris Lo is a film maker who captures mesmerizing magic. He’s the camera guy in the pit, behind the DJ, and flying drones at your favorite concerts. Ben and Chris are both Time Trappers who have collaborated in the nightclub and on the golf course, so we had to record this relic. We talk about videography, leveraging A/V equipment, organizing mountains of media, and how to effectively collaborate with artists.

After another reading from the Roasted Reflections library, we hear a crazy story and jam on how full-time creatives can sequence paid gigs with portfolio-building efforts that maintain a runway to stay creative. Let’s get loud.
