Original Post:

It’s been a minute, huh? What better way to find myself back onto your screens (and in your hearts) than an interview with fellow camera assistant Meghan Commons on her new podcast / Instagram live show, “Keeping it Sharp” – a show about camera assisting, hosted by a focus puller.

Tune in here at her Instagram profile on Saturday June 6th (that’s today!) at 2 PM central time.

If you aren’t able to catch it live, it will be reposted on Meghan’s profile (@meghphoenix) afterward and also on the @keeping_it_sharp Instagram page after the live cast ends. You can also head there to check out previous interviews with other AC’s including Brian Aichlmayr, Matthew Debonis, and Dany Racine.

Hope to see you there!
