We go deep into creativity and self-doubt in this episode. Talking about what would possess a 19 year old in Calgary to make a feature film for no money, and then to do it three more times in and out of film school. We then go into the big career and personal perspective shifts Brendan faced after looking back on his career in the face of new challenges. The newest phase of Brendan's career is sure to produce his best work yet, and I'm beyond excited to see it. This conversation was so very valuable to me as I embark upon my own first feature. Enjoy!
