This week on the podcast I'm talking to Visual Effects Guru and Writer Director John Schlag. Johns been in the industry a long time and has worked on some absolute classic movies like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Death Becomes Her, Forest Gump and Star Trek Generations. 

He's also recently moved into writing and directing his own short films. So I talked to John about some of those classic films, got some inside stories and asked him about his move into short films and some of the challenges he's faced on his third career. Enjoy!
