Our guest, Matthew Yerby is the Writer/Director of the Action/Drama The Dirty South (2023). He talks about how that movie deals with Classism and economic disparity.
Topics also include how Yerby uses different colored index cards to outline a script and how he was able to assemble a great cast for The Dirty South, including Dermot Mulroney and Willa Holland.
