T-Bone and Bubb talk to director Alec Helm about his new short film Letterbox. Alec talks about his process of integrating 2D animation with live-action film, as well as the filmmaking process from cameras to software to set building to finalizing his movie and where to go from there. Reddit comes up again as Alec (a self-admitted Redditor) tries again to sell it to the Old Guys and they talk about social media's role in branding and self-promotion. Finally, Alec explains how commercials work from the perspective of the director.
