Your description is so close to things my sister has described.Kendra, what has been the process like working on The Mare?A lot of this story follows a lead character who feels like an outcast. “Bless your heart” is a line that kicked me in the gut early on. What’s the trick to writing characters who talk around what they mean vs direct characters?Seth I love the use of the color blue particularly, was the project always meant to scale back the use of color?Talk to us about the power of a good mixtape.Kendra, I understand Graphic Mundi is tied to Penn State University, can you explain the relationship between the two?Anything else you’d like to promote today?
