Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Mark Reichard AKA @pluark about living in la working in the film industry, politics and so much more.

Join us as we navigate the intricate relationship between staying informed in politics and the industry dynamics in Los Angeles. We start with a heartfelt chat on why it's crucial to hold our leaders, especially those like Kamala Harris, to the highest standards. From the importance of staying vigilant against unchecked political tactics to the resilience needed during the recent industry strike, Mark shares his unique experiences and insights living in LA.

Ever wondered how to keep your creative spark alive while working in the high-pressure entertainment industry? We’ve got you covered. Mark and I discuss the balance between maintaining passion and facing the industry’s demands. Sharing personal stories, including an exciting music video project on the Sunset Strip and the incredible contributions of art department veteran Josh Meltzer, we highlight the importance of supportive friendships. The chapter mirrors the joy and enthusiasm that drive us, even amid the challenges.

As the conversation deepens, we explore the realities of life in Los Angeles, the democratization of filmmaking through technology, and the broader political landscape. From the emotional toll of starting fresh in a diverse city to the contrasting treatment of political leaders by Republicans and Democrats, our discussion is both insightful and reflective. We wrap up with a sneak peek into my upcoming album "Domie,”, and a call to action for listeners to find their tribe and nurture meaningful connections. Whether you’re an aspiring filmmaker or a politically conscious individual, this episode offers a rich tapestry of experiences and reflections.
