Bucket list moment unlocked! 🎬 Our first-ever live episode from Sundance is here. I sat down with producer Gary Foster to talk about the seven-year journey of bringing "Bedford Park" to the screen—a deeply personal Korean-American story that almost didn't get made. We tackle: 

• How Gary met director Stephanie Ahn 12 years ago when she was an assistant editor, and why he championed her debut feature for seven years
• The unconventional move that landed Hyundai as the first major investor with $1 million 
• That terrifying moment when he started production without full financing
• How changing a key character from Caucasian to Korean-American transformed the entire film
• What being a "career producer" actually means

If you've ever wondered what it really takes to get an indie film made in today's landscape: the persistence, the creative partnerships, the calculated risks....this conversation is for you.
