What if the future of independent film isn’t competition, but community? In this episode, Danny sits down with actor and filmmaker Jean Evans, co-founder of the Los Angeles film collective Bleach, to explore how creative careers can grow when people stop doing it alone.

Jean shares how film entered her life, what pushed her to pursue acting full time, and why Bleach was built around connection, education, and mutual support. From Demo Days to social clubs and Bleach Fest, the collective is reframing Hollywood’s next generation not as solo climbers, but as collaborators.

This episode is for anyone pursuing something big, something uncertain, or something without a clear path. It’s a reminder that creativity thrives in community — and that ambition doesn’t have to be lonely.
