Luke and Mackenzie break down the visual and audible aspects of the film that carry the professional value of the story. In their short film review, the pair touch on things they wish the film offered them from emotional beats, to deeper story beats. As they go through the film, the hosts remark on their favorite stills and moments in the film that they think really define what Ship of Theseus is.

Cyborgs. Boxing. Passion. Decisions. These are Michael’s biggest points in his interview with Mackenzie. They dive into all parts of the process of this Advanced Production short film. From the earliest stages, to the reflections Michael has now, almost a year after the film wrapped. Michael’s energy is contagious as he alludes directors to lighthouses and recounts the hardest part of the whole production, which may come as a surprise to audiences.
