While attending the Garden State Film Festival, Melissa Mars had the pleasure of sitting down with Ming Chen (yes, Comic Book Men legend himself!) for an episode of his podcast A Shared Universe.

They talked about The Sign, invisible disabilities, the power of service dogs like Domino 🐾, the Exit Zero project, and the journey of bringing indie films to life. From the editing process to how post-production becomes the ultimate rewrite in storytelling. It was a fun, thoughtful, and energetic conversation.

We’re so grateful for the space to share more about the heart and mission behind the film. Thank you, Ming, and A Shared Universe, for amplifying these voices.
