This episode’s guest is Justice Parman. He’s a prolific writer, director, world builder, USC film school graduate, and the Founder of Rebel Kids Entertainment. If you’re a fan of baseball, you’ve probably seen one of his numerous San Diego Padres hype videos (the best ones online).

Beyond his many well-honed crafts, he’s a connoisseur of good games, builds and runs captivating TTRPG campaigns, and shares his kind and creative soul with the world regularly.

Most importantly, this conversation gives you great insights into how a multi-talented visual storyteller writes deeply, organizes seed ideas, stays curious while building new worlds, and so much more.
