Episode 1 - Rules Can Set You Free
07/22/21 • 37 min
1 Listener
In our first episode, we talk about how rules can set you free. This may sound counterproductive, but Danish filmmaker and provocateur Lars von Trier proved that you can become more creative by restricting yourself. In 1995, Dogme95 was created by fellow Danish filmmakers Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, and Kristian Levring to limit themselves on a film production.
Some of the rules were:
- The camera must be handheld.
- Actors have to wear their own clothes.
- Filming must be done on location.
By using the strict 10 rules the directors could concentrate more on the actors and the film and not wait for technical departments like camera, lighting and wardrobe.

Episode 2 - Finding Your Tribe
In this episode, we talk about how creatives are often misjudged, mislabeled, and mishandled by the traditional school system. We talk about not fitting into boxes and being labeled by your latest test score. Does a test score really represent who you are, your values, and your beliefs? If you don't fit into the traditional school system and you score low, does that make you feel less smart?
Should you accept the rules, status quo, and conventional wisdom that society gives us?
