The Creative State | Podcast talks with creators, makers, artists, filmmakers and doers who are building in the Creative Economy, and gives advice on how you can survive in this most interesting of times. It's part business, it's part art, but mostly it's the 411 on how we can all navigate the rocky shoals of being a builder in today's workplace. Indeed, it's the Intersection of Art and Business, with a little bit of serendipity thrown in for good luck. If you're a content creator, this is the place to be.

    Creative State | The Tomy Durant Episode #2

    Tomy Durant is da man. As showrunner on such epic shows as Ice Trucker and Car Trek, he knows of which he speaks.  There are some real gems in here. If you have any interest in filmmaking, from getting your foot in the door, from to how to navigate a tough business, to learning about how to structure story, this is definitely worth a listen. Plus... Ghosts. He pulls no punches and gives us all a very clear perspective on the true nature of the game. Do you need to go to film school? Do you need to go in debt? How important is networking, and much much more. His credo: say yes to the universe. Let's make something together. It's an approach that has gotten him very far - and he has the chops and work to back it all up. Subscribe.

    Creative State | The Gary Washington Episode #1

    One thing I love about the one and only Gary Washington is his passion for film and filmmaking. Even if he wasn't paid to help make the good stuff, he'd be out there shooting horror films that make us hold each other a little tighter and a little longer.  Anything that does that is pure goodness in my book.  In this episode he discusses the first film that blew his mind (hat tip to James Cameron), the power of oral history and how this shaped his love of storytelling, and how he makes ends meet as a content creator. Plus, let's not forget Bleedingham - perhaps the best horror film festival on the planet.  So plug this into your ears and hear from the one and only G-Dub. It's inspiring, informative, and pure goodness.  © 2023 Moment Film Co, LLC
