In this episode of Talent Freaks, host Andy Coon sits down with Seth Mendelson and Joseph Baron, the creative minds behind the acclaimed web series "Take Me Back." Recorded in 2008 when their series was making waves on Vimeo, this conversation explores how two film school graduates transformed limited resources into a visually stunning and narratively compelling web series.

Seth and Joseph candidly discuss their 16-month journey creating "Take Me Back," from late-night concept calls to marathon filming sessions. They reveal their filmmaking process, technical decisions (shooting on the Panasonic HVX 200), and how they achieved their distinctive cinematic look despite budget constraints.

The duo shares insights on finding your creative voice, the challenges of self-financing independent projects, and the emerging potential of web series as a storytelling medium. Their honest reflections on the struggles and triumphs of independent filmmaking offer valuable lessons for creators working outside traditional systems.

Whether you're a filmmaker, web content creator, or simply appreciate the craft behind digital storytelling, this conversation provides an authentic glimpse into the creative process behind one of the early standout web series productions.
