Artwell

This officially marks the end of Artwell Season 4 on George Miller. I have spent time thinking about the key lessons I learned this season of the show and have distilled them down into essays that I will share with you in this episode. In this episode we explore why 'Your Art Is Not For You', and 'How to Tell a Story Like George Miller'. I also share two incredible stories from George Miller's collaborators, and a demonstration of why allegorical stories are so important.
