With multiple feature films already under her belt and three more in production this year alone Mara moves between worlds effortlessly, from film sets to tattoo studios, from action scenes to deeply personal conversations.

The show will have a very loose format but will touch on the who, what, where, and why. With a small portion of the conversation dedicated to the tools each creator utilizes.
