Episode Synopsis
The Unscene Work is back, and we're kicking off the new season with award-winning filmmaker and storyteller Caroline Slaughter. In this episode, Erik and Caroline dive deep into the creative process: what it really means to trust your instincts, collaborate with your characters, and open yourself up to inspiration that doesn't always make logical sense. They talk about: Building emotionally whole characters from the inside out Why mindset is just as important as craft How stories sometimes find you—and what it takes to listen Working with energy, intuition, and yes, even AI What happens when you stop asking for permission and just make the thing This conversation is for artists who care about the process, not just the product and anyone trying to create meaningful work in a noisy world. 🛠️ Mentioned: Caroline's writing incubator The Creative Act by Rick Rubin Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert The War of Art by Steven Pressfield Subscribe for new episodes every other week.
