Reckless Creatives

Jeanne sat down with her old buddy Lucas McNelly about everything from working on set, the "value" of film school, depression, lessons learned from making a short film, tons of crowdfunding tips, why you shouldn't give a sh*t what people think, and how Lucas got 238 million views for his short film. Yep, you read that right.

Settle in. So many lessons packed into this hour.

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman talks with opera singer, Lucia Lucas, and The Sound of Identity's director, James Kicklighter. Lucia shares her experiences being the subject of a doc, the first transgender opera singer to take on a lead role, and a peek behind the curtain of the world of opera. Together with James, they explore all aspects of an artists life—realities not often discussed, like money, relationships, and film festival challenges for LGBTQ+ films.

Whether you're an opera lover or not, this is an episode full of important details of living an authentic artistic life. Oh, and there's this weird, little-known German law ... 

Where's Sadie Dean you ask? Find out what kept her busy in the show's intro.
