Haddle's House Episode 9: Interview with Cinematographer Dustin Pearlman (@dustinpearlman). In this week's episode, I chat with Dustin Pearlman, and we discuss his career, our combative sibling-like relationship, and the nuances of filmmaking. We touch on topics including the impact of the environment on our mental health, the importance of staying disciplined in creative careers, and signs from the universe. Dustin shares personal stories about his upbringing, experiences with ghosts, UFOs, and philosophies he's stolen from other podcasts. He also loves his dog @easyontheiris - she's adorable.
