In this episode, I'll be talking to Thatcher Freeman. He's a California-based colorist and software engineer. For his day job, he's an actual AI specialist. He's made great contributions to the color grading and software coding communities. He's also a filmmaker, so I wanted to talk to him to find out what makes him tick.
