"Just Try It" is a video podcast from The Blueprint about people who aren't afraid to reinvent themselves, their craft, and their path. This show is about trying different roles and becoming a one-man band, overcoming personal and creative barriers.

In this new episode, actress, director, and screenwriter Paulina Andreeva discusses returning to the profession after a hiatus, boredom in film, the stages of growing up, artificial intelligence, and screenwriting vanity. The hosts are two seasoned one-man bands: Alexander Perepelkin, a partner at The Blueprint and Lunar HARE, CEO of Dot Comms, and Zhenya Melnikova, former PR Director of Prada Group in Russia and the CIS.
