Filmmakers want to present our craft to the world, and that craft is made with a particular vision. Sometimes sticking to this vision means we will lose out on other opportunities. Comedian and filmmaker, Jerrod Carmichael, explains why he is willing to take that risk.

Stand-up comedy and how it is an immediate art form

Developing thick skin from being a stand-up comedian

Getting the plug pulled on a major project

How his film, On the Count of Three, melds comedy with darkness and honesty

Jerrod’s perspective on what a film’s premise should be
