For the past several years, Dean Haglund, Phil Leirness, and Jon Lawlor have been getting together almost weekly to hold each other’s feet to the fire in the pursuit of creating art that is filled with life, while also learning how to live more artfully. Now, Chillpak Hollywood Presents … “The Art Life” as a regular podcast!

This week’s topics include …

*The AI-generated fight sequence that has sent shock waves throughout Hollywood and that has filmmakers fearing for their livelihood

*Stephen Colbert vs. the FCC and CBS

*CBS and its parent company (Paramount) vs. Netflix

*Wim Wenders and the Berlinale (the Berlin Film Festival) in political hot water

*The need for a new Declaration of Independence for artists today (an art manifesto, if you will)
