The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good

How to Find Joy in Writing + Directing with Jake Thornton

Let us take you on our rainy walk and talk through Clivedon National Trust Forest in Taplow, England, outside London. Professional screenwriter (Disney's The Princess), storyteller, author, director, Jake Thornton and I, Siri Baruc Thornton, walk in the rain and dialogue about authentic creativity, finding joy in the process of writing, Jake's new, organic process of writing, his essential morning routines to get into flow state, his method of "writing dashes", the directing of his third short film, "Mother Up," his new short film and the 3 major realizations he's had over the past two decades of writing. I believe you'll very much enjoy the natural sounds of our walk as you peak into a creatively inspired conversation that will bring you into your own realms of joyful creativity for your day! @jakethornton

Born in London, Jake Thornton’s passion for storytelling began with his training as an actor at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He refined his creative instincts on stage, performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company and in London’s iconic West End, immersing himself in the art of character and narrative.
Jake moved to Los Angeles to expand his career into filmmaking, combining his theatrical roots with a visionary approach to storytelling. He built a successful screenwriting career, selling and developing projects with major studios and networks, including Columbia Pictures, Amazon Studios, SyFy, Warner Brothers Television, and The CW. Notable among his achievements is an adaptation of the legendary Final Fantasy video game franchise for Sony Television and their original screenplay The Princess, a dynamic action film released domestically on Hulu and internationally on Disney+ in 2022.
Mother Up is his third short film.
