Wow! Such an amazing conversation with Jen Pogue!! We chat all about her experiences and journey to becoming a multi-hyphenate creative, from acting to producing to coordinating community building industry panels for Canadian Film Fest to becoming an award winning host of her very her own Lifestyle series, 'County Blooms'! We chat all about the importance of collaboration, the challenges of independent filmmaking, and the value in taking a break from the biz when you feel called to and the magic that a well intentioned pause can feed back into your creative life when the time is right. Jen also talks about her production company/collective called FilmCoop, the incredible Comedy Igniter short film competition initiative and the importance of storytelling to create empathy.
