The Fire Pit

Rookie Productions

The Fire Pit is a 7 episode miniseries meant to be a companion piece to the upcoming feature film from Rookie Productions, Chalet. In each episode director/actor, Marcus Ellison Jr, interviews a member of the ensemble cast about their individual experience with the COVID-19 pandemic and how that ties into their involvement with the film.With this podcast and eventually with the film, we're seeking to further de-stigmatize that period of time and open more doors for honest conversations about our individual & shared experiences with it.To Keep Up To Date With Rookie Productions Follow The Links BelowWebsite: https://www.rookieproductions.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rookieprod/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RookieProductionsllcLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rookie-productions-llc/
