Britt Robertson and Wesam Keesh

Britt Robertson and Wesam Keesh are two faces you may immediately recognize.

As actors, they have built impressive careers for themselves. Hungry to explore other sides of their creativity, however, they recently produced their first project together.

This dynamic duo met on the set of Shondaland’s FOR THE PEOPLE on ABC, which unfortunately only lasted two seasons.

I have personally known Wesam for many years and have witnessed his relentless hustle, dedication, and commitment to his craft. He is truly a unique and inspiring oddball of an individual and I am grateful to call him a friend.

Side note/shameless plug…Wesam also hosts a great podcast on Idobi radio called WESAM’S WORLD and I got to be a guest last year!

Talent clearly runs in his family. So when his brother, William, wanted to make his first music video, he naturally hit up Wesam to direct who then naturally hit up Britt to produce.

Their collaboration went on to become Wesam’s directorial debut!

This hour we spent together showcases how supportive they are of each other, and that they clearly know how to have fun…even throughout the inevitable highs and lows of production, of life.

That’s the stuff dreams are made of, if you ask me.

After 20 years as a performer, Britt admits to being a bit bored by acting and that she found line producing a welcomed challenge. Sooo, this week we discuss going outside our comfort zones, the importance of preparation, and advice to actors who want to get into producing.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this week’s episode!

Beijos,

Caca
