Jonathan Diener on Rootless Coffee, Freelance Advice, and Making the Move from Music to Marketing

Welcome to an all-new bonus episode of Films for the Void! In this episode, Landon interviews Jonathan "Jono" Diener - a Flint-based musician, comic writer, marketing master, habitual tweeter, and certified cat and coffee enthusiast. You may know him as the drummer for former Fueled by Ramen punk band The Swellers, who spent the better part of a decade touring worldwide until calling it quits in 2015. Since then, however, he’s kept incredibly busy as the Creative Director for Rootless Coffee in Flint, and as the drummer for the newly assembled band 84 Tigers, formed alongside Small Brown Bike members Mike and Ben Reed, as well as for  Worcester, Massachusetts punk band No Trigger. You can follow the work he’s doing with Rootless over on Twitter @ rootlesscoffee, and if you live on the east coast, you can catch 84 Tigers in Brooklyn, Providence, and Boston this March.

Landon chats with Jono about making the move from DIY touring to marketing, bestows advice for those working in freelance spaces, the work he's doing with Rootless Coffee, and, of course, movies - all on the latest episode of Films for the Void!
