🎬 The creative challenge episode. A companion film discussion exploring the film through a feminist lens is also available.
🍿💋 Inspired by 'PRIDE' (2014), this episode invites listeners to move from analysis to action.
Esme and Joe set a creative challenge designed to help you build confidence, experiment with ideas, and make your own work - whether you’re a filmmaker, writer, performer, or simply feeling creatively curious.
Through the Creative Hangup Hotline, listeners can anonymously share their creative fears, blocks, and doubts, with the hosts responding with encouragement, perspective, and inspiration.
