Adam Westbrook and the Art of Storytelling on the Internet (Mentorless Podcast - Episode 1)

Summary: Mentorless Podcast offers in-depth interviews with filmmakers about a particular project that has asked them to stretch their creativity beyond what they could have imagined. Together we look at the steps they took from the moment they had an idea until the moment they released their project into the world. The interviews are meant to leave you with practical tips and lessons from filmmakers who’ve done it before and are willing to share their story with their glorious and less glorious moments. In this first episode, I talk with British storyteller Adam Westbrook. You might be familiar with Adam’s work and more particularly with his video essays that were often Vimeo staff picked over the years. During this conversation, we tackle many subjects including: - gatekeepers on the Internet - the pros and cons of Vimeo and YouTube - the delicate art of asking money to create - the attitude to have when you open a Patreon page and much much more. I had an absolute blast talking with Adam, I learned a ton and hope you’ll feel the same. Enjoy!
