In this episode I’m joined by Helena Thom, Nach Dudsdeemaytha and Mily Mumford to discuss dealing with negativity. We’ve all been in a situation where our creations have gone out into the world for some sort of feedback. We hope for the best, but sometimes the opposite arrives in our inbox. How do you handle that? Releasing your art is all about letting yourself be vulnerable, but how do you protect yourself from negativity and how do you get past it. Conversely what are ways that you can give corrective feedback to artists that make it more palatable?

The post Episode 7 – DEALING WITH NEGATIVITY appeared first on Create Watch Repeat.

In this episode I’m joined by Marc Yungco, Kristyn Stilling, Michelle Muldoon and Jesse Lupini to discuss education versus experience. Is a formal education necessary to get into the film industry AND does it help you be successful down the road? What are some other avenues and what does someone REALLY need in their proverbial tool kit to persist and succeed in film?

The post Episode 6: Education vs Experience appeared first on Create Watch Repeat.

I got an exciting opportunity when chatting with some friends over at the Vancouver Short Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. They’re about to kick off their festival at the end of the month – January 22nd thru the 24th to be more precise. When the dust settled on our conversation, we found that we’d hatched an idea for a podcast – specifically: Film Festivals in a Pandemic.

In this episode I’m joined by Sasha Duncan from VSFF and three filmmakers who’s films are screening in the festival: Linnea Ritland, Shanyn Maguire and Daniel Jeffery. We chat about how organizers and filmmakers have adapted to film festival life in a pandemic, we talk about the challenges and opportunities that have appeared and we throw darts at the what-does-the-future-look-like board.

On this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Verhagen, Maja Aro and Mary Galloway. They all joined me back in December for a little chat about Promoting Yourself.

We creatives are always in marketing mode and there are so many different ways to go about it. Websites, social media, networking, advertising… In this episode we touch on what works, what doesn’t and throw in a few personal secrets and tips for good measure!

The post Episode 4: PROMOTING YOURSELF appeared first on Create Watch Repeat.

This is the third and final “pre-production” show that I recorded before getting my hands dirty in all the naming, branding, website, RSS encoding stuff.

Jules Koostachin, Nessa Aref, Sarah Hedar and David Aboussefy joined me to chat about THE BLANK PAGE.

As creatives, we all start our process somewhere and it’s usually with some form of a blank canvas. How do you deal with that? Where do you start and when do you decide your baby is ready for outside eyes?
