This is Off Track. Hello, everybody. Welcome to Off Track with Hinch or Rossi. It is Tuesday. So it's just going to be one of us. I don't know where Alex is. I assume he's doing something busying himself. Simulator maybe. I'm going to bet Sim. I'm going to assume a simulator. We just say Sim. So we don't have him, which is great because instead we have a guest on the show

this week.

We are very happy to welcome Gilad Haas, the co-founder of Shadow Lion, which is the production

company behind this new All In digital series that you are seeing online.

First of all, thank you so much for joining us. Honored to be here. Stoked. This is going to be a lot fun. So you were telling me that you're based in Boston. Is that right? Based in Boston from the area. So didn't have to go too far. Born and raised? Yeah. Very good. Very good. And so how did you kind of get into the film industry?

What's a bit of your background and how you ended up where you are now?

Totally, yeah.

For me, it was, you know, I never particularly loved school or was an excellent student, but given any opportunity to, you know, if a teacher signed a project and it was like, hey, you can write a paper,

you can make a video or make a poster board or something, I would always elect to make the

video. And I just found myself, you know, staying up onto the night, working on the video,

editing it, et cetera, not because it was due the next day, just because I was enjoying the process.

And I thought it was worthwhile to pursue something I because I was enjoying the process and right I thought it was worth

worthwhile to pursue something I enjoyed and so I ended up going to a film school at emerson

college in boston as well which has a it's a kind of visual media arts school um so I went

there and studied cinematography and filmmaking and wanted to make movies, et cetera,

and ended up kind of finding my way into everything from, you know,

long-form sports content like all in,

all the way through advertising and commercial work and, you know,

working with a lot of talent as well.

I feel like a lot of people that go to film school, you know, have to find work outside of film. So, like, yeah, I was going to say, you're, experience because he also went to film school. Yeah, I was going to, I was going to get there and just like, you're, you're an example of a film school grad, film school grad who then quickly got into working and, and film and digital media. media. So how did you do the second part?

Yeah, it's actually like I'm still in touch with Emerson and every once in a while.

Like I feel like there's a missing opportunity at film school to teach students how to make a career out of the skills they learn going to film school.
