The past seven days have been a whirlwind of press and exciting events to celebrate Antidote 15's season two and all the amazing people who are the lifeblood of the show.

How to Create A Web Series [Part One: Pre-Production]
This year is my year of doing big, scary things I've never done before. In December, I remember walking home from class and thinking, "what challenges scare me?" I came up with two: skydiving and helming a web series.Since skydiving is a perfectly rational fear I don't want to tackle anytime soon, I decided to create my own web series.

(People who have had my chocolate chip cookies know what's up.) My web series is called Antidote 15, and you can read more about it here.
