First in a weekly Q&A interview series where we speak with faith-based filmmakers about their work and the industry.

Premiered on November 12th as the first-ever Star Wars television series, The Mandalorian brings forth new stories and characters to the ever-expanding world of Star Wars. The show follows the travails of a Mandalorian, a character who struggles to find his belonging and identity to his warrior culture of Mandalore, a planet purged by the once-prosperous Galactic Empire. With the Empire destroyed at the Battle of Endor, the New Republic tries to find its footing as the galaxy is left in a period of disarray.
Born in 1892, J.R.R. Tolkien was raised Catholic from an early age, continuing his love of writing throughout his life and even in wartime. C.S. Lewis, a lay theologian who also held a deep passion for English literature, shared a friendly rivalry with Tolkien in Inklings, a writers' circle in Europe.
In the ever-growing competitive world of filmmaking, it's easy to find yourself overwhelmed by those who have better equipment or higher skill levels than you. You might ask yourself, "Where do I start? How will I get anywhere?" Chances are, anyone and everyone will give you a different answer, but if I were to put it into three words, it'd be: Just shoot something.
This week, in Part 2 of our filmmaker Q & A series, we catch up with producer/assistant director/actress Cassie Laing.
