Walking Away From Omelas - 1/18/2021: A Phil Svitek Vlog

I open this vlog by sharing some thoughts about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the state of the world today. Throughout, I mention my friend Eboni K. Williams' podcast series called Holding Court which you can check out here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-holding-court-with-eboni-72590940/. After talking about the serious subject of social justice, I transition to talk about my creative journey along with friends' of mine. In particular, I talk about the launch of @KhalielAbooboo's Trap Yoga Music channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChE7GqMGaO2XU9OhZTe30cg) and the lessons you can take away from his journey. Then I share my thoughts heading into filming a proof of concept film and compare the experience to Ursula K. Le Guin's short story called The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas (https://sites.asiasociety.org/asia21summit/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/3.-Le-Guin-Ursula-The-Ones-Who-Walk-Away-From-Omelas.pdf). It's a comparison that I'm sure artists can relate to once viewed from this perspective.
