Her ventures in screen sound include scores for the award winning CBC animation Grape Soda In The Parking Lot and the BBCs Bafta winning Fair Isle: Living on the Edge.Inge and I delve deep into what creativity can look like when writing in response, we explore community, collaboration and the importance of artists lifting other artists.
