In this recurring series, host Candice Bloch takes you inside the world of how a project gets made. Through discussions with creators about their individual journey on a particular completed production, we gain insights about what it takes to bring a vision to fruition. Whether hearing about process or logistics, lessons or advice, these success stories of bringing a project to life can be informative and inspiring.

And after that, Laura Seltzer-Duny talks about three of her documentaries, The Last Boat Out, Nobody Wants Us, and Las Abogadas.
