In this episode, we welcome director Bernard MacMahon and producer Allison McGourty. This team brought us Becoming Led Zeppelin — the first documentary the legendary group has ever agreed to participate in. The film is currently streaming on Netflix and continues to be played at select theaters in the U.S. and around the world. In our chat, we hear about their path creating this doc, their creative back stories, and much more. Bernard and Allison also offer incredible insights for up-and-coming directors, about producing documentaries, and filmmaking in general.
