Convos about Conscious Media with Kia

Kia Kiso-Brennan

What if the films, shows, and stories that actually reflect your life — your values, your questions, your inner world, your future — were easier to find? Convos is a guided expedition into the conscious media landscape: a growing world of content built to inform, uplift, and align with what viewers actually care about and the worlds they want to embody. Host Kia Kiso-Brennan (award-winning entertainment producer and lifelong lover of story) covers the full range. Some episodes are solo: Kia speaking directly on topics, trends, and what she's discovering along the way. Others are conversations: with fans sharing how they find content that reflects their values and what it means to them, filmmakers and creators sharing how and why they make it, and experts helping explain why it matters. Episode by episode, we're drawing a map. And together, envisioning what this landscape could become. Whether you're a filmmaker, a creator, or someone who's always felt the absence of stories made for you... this is that conversation.

    What Is Conscious Media? You Know It When You See It

    Nobody fully agrees on what conscious media is. Not the festival directors, not the filmmakers making it, not the audiences watching it, not the researchers who study it… If you've ever finished a movie or a show and just sat there — not stunned, just changed — you already know what conscious media is. You just didn't have the name for it. You're not alone. There are over 100 million of us in the U.S. and even more globally, and almost nobody knows the name of the genre we love watching. In this first episode of Convos about Conscious Media, host Kia Kiso-Brennan walks the territory we've all been wandering. She brings you the working definitions and then explains why every one of them ends up at the same place: "You know it when you see it." From a moment crouched behind a Stage 24 set at Warner Bros. — where a single question reshaped her career — to the question this whole show exists to answer together: what is media that positively shapes our lives and envisions a future we want to live in? And how do we find more of it? The premise of the show: Definition by conversation, episode by episode, we map it out together. This is where the convos start. Topics: defining conscious media · conscious media vs. SIE · faith-based media · the food-spectrum metaphor · industry voices · specific titles that qualify · the big question that wouldn't leave. → Shape the future, take the founding audience survey (I read every response): consciousmediaconvos.com → Subscribe at consciousmediaconvos.com Follow Convos: IG / FB / TikTok / Substack: @consciousmediaconvos X: @cmediaconvos Photo: Jen Serena / @serenacreative Sound edit: Dave Barnaby, MPSE Graphic animation: Drew Unser / @cdrewunser-editor Music: Simon Jomphe Lepine via Storyblocks a conscious media visionaries production
