Ian
Bio
Ian has been fascinated with the process of making movies for as long as he can remember, so much so that he has his bachelor’s degree in Cinema Arts & Science from Columbia College Chicago. That being said, he’s managed to miss out on so many pop culture cornerstones and arthouse gems alike that he *literally* created a podcast about it. When not doing whatever it is he does on this podcast, you’ll find him being lost in a theme park somewhere, working on a tech project, or being an award winning short film editor (but please don’t ask him about it, he hates bragging about himself.)
