Welcome to Sincast, presented by CinemaSense.

Hi everybody, welcome to The Sincast. This is Chris Atkinson from CinemaSense,

joined by Jonathan Watkins. Hello, hello. And Barrett Share. Hi! And today we have two very

special guests. It's filmmakers Heady Wong and Hissani Mustafa. They have multiple hyphens on this

movie. Hissani directed and wrote and edited and did cinematography and Heady wrote and produced.

And I mean, I'm missing things. That's how much they've done.

They are here today. Welcome, guys. They have a movie called Takeout Girl.

Coming out VOD in digital May 18th. Hello, how are you guys doing?

reflect on where I'm going. And in order to reflect on where you're going, you have to kind of

reflect on the beginnings and how you even got here. You know, and, you know, it was a

unhappier time in my life. You know, I wrote the first draft. I tried to get it made.

And it was hard. I gave up. And then Lauren, who plays Sarah in the movie,

trying to produce it. And he was like, you know, I know this man and his work is great.

You know, but he also does it off very little money. And I'm like, really?
