Wylie Anderson RETURNS to the Pod fresh off directing Grace Guy’s DECKHAND at the Edinburgh Fringe — and fully recovered from much chaos involving international travel and visceral sickness. We also discuss Wylie's HOME MOVIE SHOW: an event where fellow "adults" bring in the earnest, hilarious, deeply personal home movies they made as kids. The live show taps into Wylie’s love of hosting and her ability to access her inner child, while opening up a bigger conversation about purpose — and remembering what is actually FUN about filmmaking.
We also get into Wylie’s newest feature, which she describes as her most personal yet. She shares how she immerses herself in the writing process, including using movement and dance as a way into a script about dance itself. From there, we zoom out to talk about creative process more broadly: setting goals and writing benchmarks, holding yourself accountable, and knowing when — and how — to let other people into the work-in-progress.
