Show Notes
Emma Huckstadt started as a Production Assistant at Zero Point Zero in 2014 and quickly got promoted to Manager of Production Equipment, responsible for trouble-shooting questions and inspecting their gear before it goes into the field. Zero Point Zero produces shows such as Parts Unknown, Mind of a Chef, and Elvis Goes There and has won 15 Primetime Emmy's, 5 James Beard Awards and a Peabody Award. Emma and Ryan's discussion ranges from reminiscing about crappy PA postings on set to solving logistical nightmares that pop up when planning for overseas shoots, to what Zero Point Zero has on their horizon.
