Wow! Such an amazing conversation with Jen Pogue!! We chat all about her experiences and journey to becoming a multi-hyphenate creative, from acting to producing to coordinating community building industry panels for Canadian Film Fest to becoming an award winning host of her very her own Lifestyle series, 'County Blooms'!  We chat all about the importance of collaboration, the challenges of independent filmmaking, and the value in taking a break from the biz when you feel called to and the magic that a well intentioned pause can feed back into your creative life when the time is right. Jen also talks about her production company/collective called FilmCoop, the incredible Comedy Igniter short film competition initiative and the importance of storytelling to create empathy.Chapters00:00Introduction to a Multi-Hyphenate Creative01:47The Journey from Acting to Producing04:21Producing on a Dime: The Story of 'Time Out'09:18The Birth of FilmCoop12:02Choosing Projects and Avoiding Burnout14:48Women on Screen Out Loud: A Podcast for Change19:01The Creation of County Blooms23:52Casting Real People for Reality TV26:19Passion and Community in Film28:46The Comedy Igniter Initiative34:59This One Time: Lessons from Filmmaking Experiences41:15Future Aspirations and Storytelling
