Be the Solution with Lloyd Waller and Jozlyn Rocki

S7, EP 207 Tonights convo at the chaos table you're listening in on host, Jozlyn Rocki, and season regular/co-host, Lloyd Waller! This conversation is centered around focusing on certain mindsets...how to be the solution, find ways to connect to help you expand your career, do things outside your comfort zone, learn new skills in life, go into the show/gig as if you already have the job, finally see/know that you're supposed to be in the creative spaces you find yourself in, find ways to enjoy the creative journey, if you want to do all the things - then you also need to get out there to create the opportunities for yourself..plus how awesome it is to realize that you've reached places you used to hold up on a pedestal, or you thought were too far out of reach, early on in your creative journey. Also, we talk about how far we've both come, since we first started our creative journeys five years ago...from voiceover, to headshots, to on-camera gigs, to improv and just continuing to move forward. It is also cool to hear all about what Lloyd (and his brain) has been up to these days, because he has been very busy...from launching his Tic Tok channel, to creating an acting skit group, to getting on stage for his first theater audition/call back, to being on stage side by side with the improv troupe he started training with when he first started his improv chapter, traveling to other states for training and improv shows, to his latest voiceover gig where the director described his voice as a specific red wine. We of course have our random round table question at the end...which actually tells you exactly what blend of wine Lloyd's voice is! Who's your Daddy...Meow! This is a shareable podcast where a group of creatives join together to document their creative voiceover & on-camera journeys in real time.

The Internal Voice with Special Guest: Director and Filmmaker Mike Pecci

S7, EP 208 Special Guest: Mike Pecci Join us tonight at the Chaos Table and listen in on our conversation with award winning Director, filmmaker, writer and visual storyteller Mike Pecci. Mike is known for blending horror, science fiction, and emotionally grounded genre filmmaking with striking cinematic imagery. Classically trained in silent film directing and cinematography in New York, Pecci built his career directing commercials, music videos, and branded content before emerging as one of the most distinctive voices in independent horror cinema. His work combines old school visual storytelling with modern cinematic intensity, drawing inspiration from filmmakers like John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, and Andrei Tarkovsky. Pecci first gained major attention with his viral science fiction horror short film 12 Kilometers, a Lovecraftian nightmare inspired by the real life Kola Superdeep Borehole. The film became a cult phenomenon online, praised for its atmosphere, practical effects, sound design, and cinematic ambition. The film generated a massive grassroots following through an unconventional “you need the director’s permission to watch it” release campaign, helping it spread virally throughout the horror community. Critics described the film as “what if David Lynch directed The Thing,” while audiences praised its haunting tone and immersive visual style. Since the release of 12 Kilometers, Pecci’s films have screened at major genre and independent film festivals around the world, including the FilmQuest, where his short film Come Home earned him the award for Best Director. His experimental horror fashion film Metanoia, starring David Dastmalchian, received multiple festival nominations including Best Cinematography and Best Macro Short at FilmQuest, as well as nominations at the London Fashion Film Festival. Outside of narrative filmmaking, Pecci has directed over 30 music videos and commercial campaigns for artists and brands including Killswitch Engage, Meshuggah, Czarface, Bose, Fujifilm, Leica, and Samuel Adams. Pecci is also the creator and host of the long running filmmaking podcast In Love with the Process, where he interviews some of the industry’s top cinematographers, directors, editors, and artists about the realities of the creative process. The show has become a respected platform within the filmmaking community for its honest conversations about art, struggle, obsession, and storytelling. Known for his visceral visual language, love of practical filmmaking, and emotionally driven horror, Mike Pecci continues to push genre storytelling into bold and unexpected territory. His work has earned a passionate cult following among filmmakers and horror fans alike, establishing him as one of the most exciting emerging voices in modern genre cinema.

Favorite Skill - Adapt to Anything! - Meet Your Actor Series: Dani Verayo

S7, EP 205 Meet Your Actor Series - Danielle Verayo Meet Dani (Danielle) Verayo is a queer Canadian actress, dancer, and singer who made CBBC history playing one of the network’s first queer characters on The Next Step. She’s been in the performing arts world basically her whole life, starting dance at four years old in ballet, tap, and jazz. Her path hasn’t been the typical studio-to-industry route. When that chapter ended, Dani pivoted — hard. She’s been self-training in hip hop and other styles since 2014, working two jobs at 16 just to keep going, and studying Dance, Drama, and Music Theatre at a performing arts high school. Since then, she’s performed at the Stratford Festival and appeared on shows like The Hardy Boys, Overcompensating, and as a dancer on Ginny & Georgia. This episode really shows that there’s no single “right” path — things shift, plans change, and if you’re willing to adapt, you can still build something that’s yours.
