Narnia Fans Cast Interview Special | Eric Owyoung of Future of Forestry (2012)

Welcome to a Narnia Fans Cast Interview Special featuring Eric Owyoung of Future of Forestry, recorded in May 2012. Paul Martin of NarniaFans.com and Mark Ostley of Middle-Earth Network sit down with Eric for a wide-ranging conversation about the music of Future of Forestry, the C.S. Lewis connection behind the band’s name, and the creative philosophy that shapes his songwriting. Eric discusses how Lewis’s poem The Future of Forestry influenced the identity and direction of the band, the album Twilight, the story behind If You Find Her, faith and spirituality in music, Future of Forestry’s Christmas recordings, and the concept behind the three-part Travel series. He also explores his approach to songwriting and creativity, including why he prefers creating an experience rather than telling listeners exactly what a song should mean, and shares advice for musicians, filmmakers, and artists about working hard, continuing to create, and not becoming trapped by the pursuit of perfection. Featuring Eric Owyoung of Future of Forestry. Hosted by Paul Martin of NarniaFans.com and Mark Ostley of Middle-Earth Network. Originally conducted in May 2012 as a NarniaFans and Middle-Earth Network special and now presented as a Narnia Fans Cast Interview Special.
