Overcoming Creative Dread
from EIDOS: The Shape and Form Ideas Take Hosted by Ira Gardner
Why does sitting down in front of professional software or a blank project timeline feel less like an artistic opportunity and more like staring down a physical threat?

Drawing from cognitive neuroscience and the candid production memoirs of a veteran documentary filmmaker, we unpack why your brain treats an unfamiliar timeline or a blinking cursor with the exact same chemical panic as a prehistoric predator.
