In our Season 2 podcast premiere, we welcome Janesta—filmmaker, dancer, poet, and Failed Films royalty since our very first season in 2016. From making DIY installations with found materials to creating mesmerizing films like "True Colors" and "Black Light," Janesta's artistic journey embodies the spirit of Failed Films.
Join me, Christopher Holloway and Lauren West as we speak with with Janesta into their evolution as an artist and her transformed relationship with failure. Janesta candidly shares how pain provides information, and why the most beautiful projects often emerge from our greatest struggles. Whether discussing the interpersonal challenges behind artistic collaboration or the liberation of refusing to choose between being an intellectual and a "badass bitch," this conversation offers wisdom for creators at every stage.
"Who's to say when a project is truly done?" Janesta asks—a reminder that our failures are often just beginnings in disguise.
