Chaos and Creativity

In this episode, Kimi and Lou discuss day jobs.

Referencing author Sara Benincasa's incredible essay, "Real Artist have Day Jobs", Kimi talks about her experience of always having the safety net of a day job to support her, and how it keeps her from feeling any pressure on her art.

There's even ways to make your day job work for you. Listen to this episode to get tips, tricks and find out why there's no shame in working a day job.

Last week, Hannah Soto, founder of Grey House Productions, and Lou Lesko talked about The Future of Virtual Production: the two distinct meanings of virtual production, what you need to know about them, and how they are going to change your future as a creative professional.

Happy New Year!
We took the rest of 2020 off to rest, digest and figure out how to move forward with a podcast about being creative for a living during a time when half the world is stuck at home.
In this episode Lou + Kimi talk about their personal experiences with pandemic-related creative blocks, and how they've both made progress.
Kimi explains how she uses the following productivity hacks to be creative rather than productive:

• Monday Hour 1
• The Pomodoro Method
• Time Boundaries

In 2021 expect more tips, tricks and musings from your favorite creative duo.

He discusses why there are no rules on pricing your photographic skills and how this offers a distinct opportunity to advance to your career.
This is a great look at the photography industry + assigning worth to your work. A must-listen for aspiring and working photographers alike.

On this episode of Chaos and Creativity, Lou hosts top producers Elise Connett and Philip Pavliger to unpack the production industry’s response to COVID-19 measures in the workplace. They discuss how to manage risk, keep people safe, and deal with uncharted territory. Listen in to hear how the production realm is moving forward with care for both people and projects.
