477: JEFF BYRD - EXEC PRODUCER - YELLOW JACKETS

In this episode, Hilliard & Exec Producer Tracy Grant sat down with the big homie - JEFF BYRD - who's currently Directing EP on Showtime's Emmy Nominated series YELLOWJACKETS!

Jeff tells us his amazing journey starting back in Brooklyn NY, coming up under the Spike Lee camp and lessons learned from back then that he still utilizes on the set today. So many gems for all of you directors, a real front row seat into the life of a former music video director who worked his way up to become an Episodic TV Director. We go deep into how to apply yourself when you're a guest director and the ins-and-outs of the directing producer on a network series!
