1st and 2nd Assistant Directing with Mark Ambury and Martin Pedersen - 110

Film Kid Asks is the podcast by film students for aspiring filmmakers. It centres the conversation around what we want to know going into the industry by digging into the origin stories and experiences of professionals working in film.

Episode ten is a conversation with 1st assistant director Mark Ambury and 2nd assistant director Martin Steel who have worked together on projects like projects like Heartland, Diablo and Wynonna Earp. We discuss their backgrounds and journeys through the industry, how they work together and the role of the AD department, and what students should keep in mind during prep and shooting, among other things.

New episodes come out every Saturday.

Hosted by Jordan Harvey, edited and produced by Anya Chatterjee
