Bri Castellini and Chris Cherry are at It Again – @brisownworld

TVWriter™ pal Bri Castellini and Bri Castellini pal Chris Cherry clearly don’t have enough to do. In addition to their web series Sam and Pat are Depressed, their podcast, Bri and Chris are Depressed, and all their individual projects, they’ve taken on something new.

Their new show also is a podcast, this time one with an absolutely insane premise. It’s called Burn, Noticed and here’s how they describe it:

Burn, Noticed is an episode-by-episode discussion and deconstruction of the USA television series Burn Notice. Co-created and co-hosted by myself and Chris Cherry. This podcast is currently in development and will launch its first full episode on July 22nd, 2019. Burn, Noticed is available on Spotify and, soon, iTunes. read article

Bri Castellini: It’s Always ‘Better With You’ – @brisownworld

Better With You, Predictably, Was Better With All Of You
by Bri Castellini

That’s right, folks- I’ve officially finished another production, which means it’s time for a round-up reflection and thank you post! This production, a Halloween romcom called Better With You, marks many firsts for me: first time hired as a director, first time directing a script I hadn’t written, first on-location shoot, first time working with an all (or mostly) female crew.

I hope none of these firsts, and none of these working relationships, will be my last. This was the absolute best production I’ve ever worked on, meaning no offense to any of the wonderful productions I’ve worked on before, but if you read on, you’ll understand why. read article
