Season 3, Ep. 2: Filmmaker Andy Motz on how art keeps us human and connected in chaotic times

This week’s Soulful Revolutionary is Andy Motz (he/him), an award-winning filmmaker. Andy works within and blends together narrative, documentary, and experimental formats to explore pressing issues including HIV awareness, queer identity, masculinity, and housing justice. His work has screened at festivals around the world. When not making films Andy can be found reading poetry and wandering through art museums. There are a lot of men contending to center masculinity in our collective conversation right now. Andy’s forthcoming film, MASC, challenges notions of toxic masculinity by highlighting alternative masculinities, as he plumbs the depths of his own story. This lovely conversation about film, art, and the practices that keep us centered in a destabilizing world was recorded last fall, but it couldn’t be more timely and I am thrilled to share it with you.Learn more about Andy and his work (including his forthcoming film, MASC), at andymotz.com.
