Off Camera with Sam Jones, DirectTV
I’ve been following a trail of Dave Grohl breadcrumbs that has lead me on a rock n' roll documentary tear including Sound City and Runnin Down A Dream, plus we already checked out his SXSW keynote. I then got into the art of the conversation through podcasts, specifically the Rich Roll podcast. Which led to DirecTV series, Off Camera with Sam Jones, where the famed celebrity photography puts down his camera, drops the color to black and white, and with 2 seats and a single slate, begins a conversation. Two seasons in, he’s had over 63 conversations with writers, actors, show runners, athletes and musicians, including a breadcrumb-dropping Dave Grohl. The man had a very busy year with a lot to promote – I certainly had no problem indulging.
Episodes of Off Camera with Sam Jones can be purchased individually online to easily cherry pick your favorites, some of mine include The Edge, Tony Hawk, Bill Lawrence, Connie Britton, William H Macy, and Robert Downey Junior. No muss, no fuss, just simple, break-it-down, conversations.
