In this episode, Justine and Dani chat about:
- Cultivating connection through purpose-led and values-led media
- Dani's background: from finding it hard to serve without connections to her work on the OUTLIER episodic documentary
- The filmmaking process and challenges: having a vision, creating a pitch deck, building a team, getting buy-in when nothing is guaranteed
- Being mid-project then deciding to step back and take time off
- Creating engaging community events: "Snow Days" for people making the outdoors more equitable in communities with wealth disparities
- Utilizing mindset tools to push yourself further
- Navigating the creative process like you navigate the backcountry
- Feeling safe and secure as a prerequisite to creativity, and finding financial stability as a creative through different methods of income
- Harmonizing passion projects vs. paying projects
and more!
