Sittin' With The Sosk

You can’t see them, but, there are often many hats resting on Devin Montgomery’s head. Devin’s an actor first- as evidenced by his credit list- but he’s also a writer, producer, director and editor. Devin is known for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Luke Wolf in the 2025 feature film ‘Monsters Within,’ which he also wrote and directed.

Charles Elmore | Season 02 Episode 02

Season 2 - Episode 2 Charles Elmore began his career young, working on television production for mega churches. That was just the beginning. Using a combo attack (what was that sequence again? Up, Down…?), of dues paying, being at the right place at the right time, and trusting a nucleus of local collaborators discovered along the way, he made a path for himself. The convo takes some fun detours along the way to covering his journey to working as a camera operator on one of the hottest tv shows around, The Lowdown, as well as his work on Minari, The Puppet Master Franchise and Reservation Dogs.
