Surviving Creativity

Part two of my interview with Donna and Scott Sava the producers of the full-length animated feature film Animal Crackers. We finish discussing the long road to getting the movie distributed.

Scott talks with Donna and Scott Sava about their crazy idea to break out of poverty by making a feature-length 3D animated film.

Writer/Artist Terry Blas sits down with Scott to discuss how his childhood and his heritage inform his work and how his career path changed after focusing his interests towards a specific goal.

I talk with Norwegian cartoonist Jens K Styve about his affectionate and hilarious comic strip Dunce, going freelance in your 40s, and living with the northern lights as your neighbor.

Scott talks with ex-travel blogger, now full-time podcaster Gary Arndt about how Covid-19 completely shut down his industry, pivoting to a new business, learning versus education, and how he once saved Scott twenty-thousand dollars.

Kevin McShane has done it all: written screenplays, performed in an improv comedy troupe, published comic books, worked in graphic design and is currently an executive producer at Buzzfeed Video. But is being a polymath everything it's cracked up to be? I talk to Kevin about his struggles to find a place where he feels he fits.

Our return episodes continue. We catch up with Cory, learn about CRWN studios and what he builds while Scott was unable to work.

After a long hiatus, Surviving Creativity returns. Scott catches up with Brad and Cory to find out what they've been up to for the last three years, and drills down with Brad about breaking into "smut" comics.

A quick clip to tease the return of the Surviving Creativity Podcast

Somebody started a hashtag on "the Twitters" because even after ten years of blockbuster Marvel & DC movies, nobody realized that all those characters were based on comic books! Yeah, that's totally what we're talking about.

Show Notes:

-Brad stirs the pot, then runs away.

-Scott yells at Cory and doesn't apologize.

-Cory doesn't care because Scott's a dumb-dumb and Cory writes all the show notes so gets the last word in anyway... suck it Kurtz.
