    #018 | Stories That Amplify Light | Season One's Guests Speak

    The story is there are innumerable ways to categorize art and entertainment—by genre; by era; fiction or nonfiction; art created as propaganda, or art as escape—and over the course of our first season of Lightwise, we’ve touched on all of these, but we’ve tried to focus on stories that amplify light. At the end of each episode throughout this first season,  I’d ask our guests what films amplified light for them. Today we listen to what they had to say.  This season we’ve visited with filmmakers, actors and comedians, activists and academics, and entrepreneurs. As you listen to what amplifies light for them, ask yourself what stories, in film, TV or other media amplify light for you, and as we look forward to seasons 2, ask yourself what would like to see or hear more of from Lightwise.

    #016 | How A.I. is Threatening the Arts with Tech Entreprenuer Austin Craig

    The story is good artists copy, but great artists steal. And now omputer systems are disrupting industries everywhere, doing things once believed only possible by humans: dealing with uncertainty; learning from experience; making predictions; interpreting language in complex, contextual ways. Even, perhaps especially, technology is now creating art—imitating (or stealing from?)the great creative geniuses—even in media as multifaceted as film. Austin Craig is an American filmmaker, author and entrepreneur, and an expert in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He is a compulsive early-adopter who dives face-first into anything new.  He is also a father, a husband (though not necessarily) in that order, and what some people have called an “all around good guy.” To connect with Austin Craig, visit his website at https://www.austinmcraig.com/ Lightwise is produced by Angel Studios.

    #015 | The Peculiar Super Powers of Animation with J. Chris Wall

    The story is every medium has its unique strengths: Sculpture is different from painting; poetry from prose; ballet from theater. One is not better than the other, but its unique characteristics make it suited for certain kinds of experiences, messages, or audiences.

Chris Wall is an American creator of kids-and-family, redemptive content. He is the executive producer and showrunner of Angel Studios’ animated series The Wingfeather Saga, based on the best-selling books of the same title.
