mind the gap: With robin hauser

​ Show Notes:
 
Q1 – What made you decide to move into filmmaking?  And at what point did you know you wanted to make social impact movies?
 
Q2 - Of course, I met you when you were touring Running for Jim – a terrific movie that did very well on the festival circuit. Was that your first movie, and tell us how that movie came to be?
 
Q3 - What were some of the key things you learned on your first project that you knew you would do differently on the next one?  And maybe something you learned with be repeated, or similar elements you would continue with in next film.
 
Q4  - At what point, and was it during the Running for Jim process, did you come up with the idea for Code?  And share the goals for the project and what it has meant for you and the community you were trying to impact.
 
Where can audiences find Code…and Running for Jim?

Q5 – Tell us about your next project?  Bias?  Almost sounds like a sister project to Code?
