We at Physically Awkward Films are raking a walk down memory lane to rewatch our old short films. We will include special guests, commentary, and behind the scenes details on our takeaways from each project. After we finish our short films we will move on to our experience as independent filmmakers. We will interview people we've worked with before, people who we hope to work with in the future, and many more in hopes of creating a community for aspiring filmmakers to hear the behinds the scenes candid discussions we missed out on when we first started our filmmaking journey.
