About

I'm a video editor, writer and musician who loves making films about process. This creative game has been with me (in both a healthy and slightly obsessional way) for a long time now, and like most people, I still have questions about how to be most effective with that energy. With Creative Minds I hope to help people answer those questions, and bring together a community of creatives to rub together and fuel each other. Love to anyone who's watching - as long as people keep telling me they are getting things from these videos, I'll be here making them. Peeeaaaaceeee.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CreativeMindsMembers (Join for a longer discussion of the Lanier book this week) This video challenges creatives to review their relationship with technology & social media. Through the lens of Basquiat's experience of being sold and mythologised in toxic and racist ways, I wanted to take a look at what happens to modern artists in conversation with market forces, and how we can look to control and shape that in a positive way.
