Hey everyone! Thanks for listening to Halfstack Highlights! I’m Jen Lezan, Editor in Chief of Halfstackmag.com. In today’s episode I am talking with Chicago based Film Director and Writer Brad Bischoff. We recently featured him and his latest feature film kickstarter project in our Kickstart a Kickstarter column.

Brad is such a humble guy with an amazing creative spirit and I knew his project would be perfect for our Explore series in Halfstack Highlights this season. We talk about his exploration of his craft and the journey from a kid hoping to be a pro skater making reels to pitch sponsors to a young adult finding joy in his passion of telling stories and making films.

Brad has an innate creative eye and knack for story telling and his latest project The Grasshopper really aims to push his creative ability to bring viewers a story that they can connect with. Throughout this episode we talk about his goals behind this project, how he goes about exploring characters in his work, what it’s like launching a kickstarter and so much more. Keep listening for the full interview.
