How do I actually bridge the gap between "starving artist" and "sustainable creator"? In this update episode of Worldsbuilder, I’m pulling back the curtain on the business of creativity to share the core philosophies driving my production company. For the first time, I’m defining my "artist-first" approach to creative execution. I discuss how collaborative art and audience participation are the foundation for what comes next in the ever-shifting media landscape.
