My Interview With Liza Mandelup, Director of 'Jawline'

Funny, surreal, moving and fascinating, the film has stayed with me. For MEL, I talked to its maker, Liza Mandelup, who had a lot to say about the transactional relationship between live-broadcasters and their fans. You can read my interview here.
