This week, Steven talks to renowned Academy-Award nominated filmmaker, Oren Jacoby, the director of the definitive study into the life of street artist, Richard Hambleton, 2017's 'Shadowman'.
Oren joins Steven for a very special conversation in which he discusses the vision behind each of his creations, how he has arrived at this point in his career, the future of film as a medium, and the artist behind the shadows in his ground-breaking documentary.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Documentary filmmaking is an incredibly difficult field to work in, as not only is funding not forthcoming, but once it has been found, the real work comes in the form of discovering the definitive truth behind a life and transforming it into a narrative.
The art of film is bound to change as new technologies and platforms evolve, but what's truly important is making sure that they can be seen by people.
As a filmmaker, we have the opportunity to mark our personal narrative voices out by fighting for the stories we believe in most.
Value in art evolves from the politics in the art world. There is far more to establishing a monetary power in art than simply creating work. There are many factors, such as marketing and agency to consider.

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
