  • RPRT49 | Thomas Jane Gets Real About Art, Humanity, and AI’s Role in Our Future
    May 2 2025

    On today’s episode of Right Place / Right Time, hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams sit down with legendary actor Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher, Boogie Nights) for a wide-ranging and deeply inspiring conversation about art, creativity, and the future of humanity.

    Tom gets philosophical about surrounding yourself with art, staying open to inspiration, and imagining a hopeful future where man and machine work together to foster growth and life. He takes us on a historical journey through the ancient roots of storytelling — how the spoken word and early music helped shape the world and even predicted the future.

    He also shares a powerful personal story: as a 16-year-old kid from the East Coast, he packed his bags and headed to India to pursue acting — an experience that rocked his worldview and opened his mind in unexpected ways. Lance and Tom go deep on the craft and philosophy of acting, while Mike drops hints about a potential future film collaboration with Tom.

    This episode is packed with everything you want — insight, adventure, artistic passion, and a fresh shot of inspiration.

  • EP345 | Screenwriting: Building Worlds Before Page One (w? Steele James)
    Apr 29 2025

    On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci sits down with rising screenwriter Steele James, a storyteller who's finally found his rhythm — and the confidence to trust the unique process that sets him apart.

    Before ever writing page one, Steele fully immerses himself in his characters’ world: using Google Maps to scout their neighborhoods, imagining where they work, where they live, and what their daily lives look like. It's about living inside the story before ever telling it — and it's a method that's paying off in a big way.

    With two feature scripts already racking up awards and accolades on the film festival circuit, Steele is at the perfect crossroads in his career. This conversation is packed with insight and inspiration for any writer or filmmaker trying to carve out their own creative path. If you’re looking for a sign to trust your instincts and dive deeper into your worlds, this is it.
