Steve Boyum Unlocks the Keys to Directing Hawaii Five-0

I had the wonderful privilege recently to interview one of my favorite Hawaii Five-0 directors, Steve Boyum.

One very popular, in-demand television director these days is Larry Teng.  I had another opportunity to chat with him recently and, not surprisingly, his cup is overflowing.
