<![CDATA[The Fire Pit]]>The Fire Pit is a 7 episode miniseries meant to be a companion piece to the upcoming feature film from Rookie Productions, Chalet. In each episode director/actor, Marcus Ellison Jr, interviews a member of the ensemble cast about their individual experience with the COVID-19 pandemic and how that ties into their involvement with the film.

With this podcast and eventually with the film, we're seeking to further de-stigmatize that period of time and open more doors for honest conversations about our individual & shared experiences with it.
