2023/08/25

Liam Whitcher is a filmmaker and comedian. He comes from the Robert Rodriguez school of filmmaking (even though he studied at UCT) in that he's a rebel with a very small crew, and not much budget, but still manages to create feature films that win awards and get picked up by film festivals. We share early memories of watching films we were far too young for, we find out what Liam's mom learned from Wolf of Wall Street, and we discuss how to approach talking about butt stuff on stage.
