OM DENNE EPISODE

Want to connect with Tj & Plaideau? Send us a text message.

A guitar class, a choir stand, and a daydream: that’s where our conversation with filmmaker Warren Mitchell begins—and it quickly unfolds into the raw, unvarnished story behind his debut feature, Aspire. Warren opens up about discovering his autism diagnosis, choosing transparency as a creative tool, and shaping a story about independence, work, and love in New Orleans that reflects reality without reducing it to a label.

Voiced by Brian Plaideau
