Will is an old friend of Cary, but a recent friend of Ivan. Having met in Toronto during the 2016 Toronto Film Festival, him and another filmmaker Jay Reid, quickly formed a bond over gasmen. Having enough of people blowing hot air, they promised (drunkenly) each other to get their debut feature films in festivals one after the other.

Will is the first one out of the three and at the point of this episode was about to go into principal photography of his debut film, Silent Night. At this point he's in post, whilst having just finished his pick ups. That's serious indie filmmaking.

Ivan talks to Will about how he got from leaving school at 16 to working in TV to writing, directing and co-producing his first feature.
