Lessons from the art film that wasn't

The Raising a Ruckus Podcast is the podcast all about rule-breakers, change-makers, and risk-takers — and the leaps of faith, sleepless nights, and big decisions along their journey. Welcome to the show!    We met Priya Sircar IRL at a OneBand gig earlier this year, and knew we'd need to get her on the show. She's a singer, dancer, choreographer, independent filmmaker, actor, mom, and probably a secret agent, and some other cool $#i+ you can't put on LinkedIn.    She's also the City of Charlotte's first-ever Arts and Culture Officer. In just two years on the job, she's helped put millions of dollars in grants directly into local creatives' hands. It's no Austin or Santa Fe, but you gotta start somewhere, right?   On this episode of the Raising a Ruckus podcast, Priya Sircar talks about what it'll take to get Charlotte to reach its creative potential, what she learned from her own unfunded film project, and if all those liquids were necessary to record this podcast.
