🎙️ Vilardi Digital Podcast – Jess Lewis & Chris Anderson (Cander Productions)

What happens when two filmmakers trade chaos for control? Jess Lewis and Chris Anderson of Canders Productions sit down for a real, funny talk about building a creative career in production, unions, freelancing, why college for production is a sham, and burning out. From Bluewater Media madness to running their own production house, it’s an unfiltered look at what really goes on behind the lens.

🎧 In this episode:

  • Surviving the early years of production life
  • Balancing work, relationships, and burnout
  • Turning freelance chaos into business clarity
  • Why saying “no” might save your creative sanity
  • Lessons from clients, gear obsessions, and leadership problems that shaped their journey
