In each episode director/actor, Marcus Ellison Jr, interviews a member of the ensemble cast about their individual experience with the COVID-19 pandemic and how that ties into their involvement with the film. With this podcast and eventually with the film, we're seeking to further de-stigmatize that period of time and open more doors for honest conversations about our individual & shared experiences with it.
