Best Job Ever: Janie Bryant, Mad Men Costume Designer

I was very excited and honored to shoot an interview with Janie Bryant but the lengths we had to go through to get this interview might be the most interesting part. This project was cursed from the beginning, flights delayed, flights cancelled and more flights delayed. We finally got to her house in L.A. 3+ hours late and began to set up in one of the hottest rooms I've been in. Needless to say, I was very sweaty. Sweat pouring down my face we had maybe 40 total minutes to get our interview and get out of there back to the airport for our return flight. We hit some L.A. traffic on the way to catch our return flight, we thought for sure we would be missing our flight. With a rare stroke of luck, our return flight got delayed and we made it back to San Francisco with our brains fried.

Overall I am not happy with the video itself, the audio is terrible and I wish we had more time to talk with her but after all our adversity, I am very happy to have a video at all. As a side note, Janie Bryant is a wonderfully nice person and as you may already know, extremely talented.
