Hannah Leder has a variety of acting credits including Deep Impact, Pay it Forward, and Judd Apatow\\u2019s Love series. She also has a recurring role on Apple TV+\'s The Morning Show.

On this podcast episode I interview Hannah about her work on The Planters, a quirky, character-driven comedy that won Best of the Fest, Best Cinematography, and Best Song at Nashville Film Festival. Along with Alexandra Kotcheff, Hannah co-wrote, co-directed, co-starred, and co-shot the film. The Planters ended up taking 127 days to shoot, and Hannah and Alexandra were the only crew members on set.

Some of the things we discuss include

• How to shoot a high-quality film with a two-person crew
• The camera and lighting setups they used for the film
• How the stop-motion sequences in the film came together

At the end of the episode you can hear a preview of \\u201cYou and Me Together,\\u201d the film\'s award-winning song from Phil Danyew.
