Diving into his journey from a Bachelor of Commerce at UBC to working in a writers' room for a CBC Gem show, this week we got to chat with Shakil Jessa on the different industry programs and filmmaking ventures that have shaped his career as a writer!

We touch on his work as a producer for the recent SXSW film A Nice Indian Boy, as well as his experience going thorough the Crazy 8s film festival with his short Imran and Alykhan in 2022. A prolific author with a feature script in development, this episode is a great listen for those interested in writing, producing, and the intersection of both Film and TV!
