TELL THE DAMN STORY, ep 328: Telling Unapologetic Stories. Creating "I SELL WINDOWS"
It’s part two of my adventures in Edinburgh, Scotland’s Fring Festival.
In this episode, Chris and I share an incredible interview I did with the artistic team behind "I Sell Windows."
The writer, actress Kaci Rogers, director Jaquita Ta’le, and producer Chelsea Boyd delve into the power of storytelling, exploring universal themes and the importance of honest, unapologetic narratives.
The three artists share profound insights on truth in art, collaboration, and the dynamic creation process. They emphasized the value of specific personal stories resonating universally and the need to embrace vulnerability.
Don't miss out on their inspiring journey from Los Angeles to Scotland.
