The 1st AD *is* the line (with guest Michael T. Meador)

​On this installment of The PAPER STREET Podcast, hosts Becky Sayers and Shawn Talley are joined by Michael T. Meador, a veteran First Assistant Director and DGA member who's served as an AD on films and television shows including THOROUGHBREDS, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, and Paper Street's own picture from Lucky McKee, OLD MAN (which is out now on VOD and streaming on Hulu).  The hosts get into the weeds with Michael about the First Assistant Director position, what it is, what it is not, and how it's not really above the line or below the line, but essentially is the line, as all communication from every department runs through a production's 1st AD.  Also on the program: a fun round of 'Rapid Fire 15' with the guest, Becky's Deep Cut Slasher of the Week, New York food, crazy set lockdown stories, SHELBY OAKS news, and more!
