  • #58: The Butera Brothers (The Art and Philosophy of Film)

    Caden and Rylan Butera join the ITA podcast to discuss the philosophy and art of film! Take that, DFW! These two are heavily involved in the production of indie films and are amazing at what they do. We acknowledged the influence of film on culture while also highlighting the potential it has to promote positive change within a society. We likewise examined the artistic process of both filmmaking and creative writing; most notably, we discussed the power which lies in the "flow state". Enjoy!
