Reckless Creatives

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman & Sadie Dean

A Pipeline Artists original podcast about nothing and everything. Hosts Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman share the truth, and nothing but the truth, about the challenges and benefits of living life as artists, striving for freedom to create in any medium, even ones you never thought of before. It's honest—no sugarcoating or selling hope. We tell it like it is, while always finding ways to make lemonade out of lemons. Think of us as Michael Bay, but with action items that don’t explode.

(Apologies for Jeanne's sound sucking in the intro. Don't worry, it's fine for the full interview. Turns out earbuds can't compare to a real mic.)

"If you're not in over your head, you're not doing your job as a writer." Yep, that about sums up the theme of Sadie and Jeanne's convo with Jeff Kitchen. If you're looking for inspiration to push your story to its limits (and beyond), look no further.
Oh, and a plant's life might be in danger. Or maybe not. We'll see.
UPDATE: Jeff has a new book out, The Hero's Dilemma: Drama at the Heart of Your Story. Available now! "Decades in the making, The Hero’s Dilemma was written by one of the world’s top-rated writing teachers, Jeff Kitchen. This book is a game changer, showing you how to start any story from scratch, maximizing its dramatic power as you create, develop, and construct it. A Dilemma of magnitude—trapping a protagonist between two equally unacceptable alternatives—is the engine of drama, and yet it’s virtually unheard of in film schools or writing courses."

While Sadie galavanted around Europe, Jeanne put reckless on steroids and talked with Jeff Frye, bank robber turned writer. Yes, a bank robber who got 20 years in a maximum security prison is now a published writer. So, what's your excuse?

Now that we have your attention ... While Sadie is vacationing in Europe, Jeanne decided to shake things up and invited writer/director/producer/filmmaker and uber reckless creative Jay Thornton on the show with actor/comedian Michael Gull—the star of the Thornton Brother's new film, CACTUS JACK.
If you want reckless, look no further. There's a lot of swearing, a lot of honesty about Hollywood and indie filmmaking, how limiting the industry is for creatives who push the envelope, and the origin story of CACTUS JACK—the most daring indie flick you'll ever watch. That's a promise.

Yes, you read that right. Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, does it all. And his amazing new film, 18 1/2, comes out on DVD this month (see links below ... we have all the links).
There is quite literally something for everyone in the episode, from practical advice on film school, turning your art into a business, scones ... and alligators. But most importantly, Dan is possibly the coolest dude we've ever met and we learned so much.
Get those earbuds in!
