Lights, camera, comedy. 📽️

Chris Jadallah is the owner and director of @filmsbycalliope, a Pensacola-based film company. He turned his childhood passion for film and directing into a business, opening his doors in 2015. A love for film was coupled by Chris’ adoration for comedy. He took his skill behind the lens and developed @kittygetajob, a local sketch comedy troupe that has recently had the support of famous Canadian sketch comedy actor Kevin McDonald from The Kids in the Hall.

Veronique and Ramsey sat down with Chris on this latest episode of the Practical Rebels podcast to talk about everything from film and comedy to the importance of networking in business and having an openness to new ideas as a director. This episode came together for something that is equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and insightful. Whether you’re a fellow creative, business leader, or just someone who enjoys great storytelling, this episode is for you.
