Alyssa Julya Smith sits down with the stars and director of "Chef Flynn", Flynn McGarry, Meg McGarry, and Cameron Yates. The film explores the life of child prodigy chef Flynn McGarry.
Flynn says he started cooking at the age of ten after he got bored with the meals his mom was making. His mom, Meg, is a filmmaker herself, and began filming her son at the same time.
Yates says he knew he wanted to make a documentary about Flynn and Meg as soon as he met them. Yates explains he searched through hundreds of hours of footage to make the film.
