What happens when you finally start getting somewhere – and the road ahead simply disappears?
In episode two of Creativity Isn’t Dead Yet, Jo Osborne chats with Director, Editor & Animator Ash (Director of Cinora Films) about the messy reality of working in Scotland’s screen industry right now – from burnout and budget cuts to building your own platform just to be heard.
They talk about:
- Ash’s latest film, The Boulder : a 3-minute whirlwind through the chaos of being an artist in a collapsing industry
- the ups and downs of being a multi-hyphenate
- why building a community matters (even if you’re bad at networking)
- making meaningful work when everything feels a bit pointless
- and what Jurassic Park has to do with AI
It’s a funny, fiery conversation full of sighs, swearing, and unexpected hope. You’re not alone – and you’re definitely not the only one winging it.
