Andrew Gerstenblatt and Arthur Goldbart of Silver & Gold Pictures are back on the Pod! The longtime roommates and creative collaborators join us to discuss their latest short film, The Extraordinaries, which recently screened at 50/50 Comedy AND won the Audience Award at NFFTY. 
We dive into the making of the short, from crafting its timeless aesthetic to maximizing the possibilities of a single-location shoot inside a treasure-filled antique store. Andrew and Arthur share how extensive preparation creates room for spontaneity on set, and why they're passionate about bringing back the kind of theatrical studio comedies that audiences can't stop quoting. Plus, we talk about what's next for the duo as they gear up to make the leap to their debut feature.
