Send us Fan MailIn today's episode, I interview Isaac Bell, Emiliano Bolado, and Madalyn Horcher, three of the creative forces behind the short film "Over the Board," a story of two long lost brothers who connect over a shared interest in chess. Isaac stars with his twin brother Elijah (who sadly was not available to join the conversation) and the film is qualified for the 97th Academy Awards.Listen to hear about the filmmakers used reflections as well as black and white imagery to show the differences between the two characters, what the film was saying about nature vs. nurture, and what it's like for Isaac and Elijah to work together as brothers on a film project.Books mentioned in this episode include:The Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoThe Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-Being by Hale Dwoskin and Jack CanfieldThe Actor the Target by Declan Donnellan Harry Potter by J.
