So if you want to get into the movies, stunts and acting - and even directing and producing, Sonja Wajih joins us to chat about how she started with dance and martial arts experience and ended up on the set of Obi Wan. Sonja has taken on many of these jobs herself while being part of amazing film productions such as the Obi Wan Kenobi Series. If being multifaceted is something you aim for as a creative, Sonja breaks down how that quality is key to understanding the people, the work, and yourself in a production. Sonja lives and breathes this craft so if you're looking to be inspired, her plan of action will get you there. Sonja and our lovely host Mark have so much fun in this episode as they give you key tools to get you further in this industry!

This episode will take you down her path of how she built her creative career's foundation in the first place, in hopes that you can relate and go for your goals! With this episode you'll gain vital information from Sonja when it comes to upgrading your skill set, as well as keeping your ambition, excitement, and curiosity with film work. The industry can get hectic and as creatives it is easy to fall into a tunnel vision.
