S02E08: Ann Marie Fleming — Compelled to Share


Listen Later

Ann Marie Fleming is a prolific filmmaker, visual artist,

and storyteller who has spent the bulk of her career exploring
themes of history, family, and memory — both her own and
others’.

Be it her powerful short film You Take Care Now,

which explores the trauma she experienced as a young woman, or
The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam which explores the
life of her great grandfather, or the adventures of Stickgirl,
Ann Marie has long shared personal stories with the world.

We recently spoke with the artist about inspiration,

creativity and why she continues to tell and explore deeply
personal stories in her art.
