Ep 258: Finding Stories in Unexpected Places with Mick Lexington

In this episode, Damien Swaby sits down with filmmaker and multi-disciplinary creative Mick Lexington to talk about his journey through art, music, and writing — and how it all led him back to filmmaking. From restless college days in the Midwest to wandering the streets of Paris, playing music in London, and finally honing his craft as a writer and filmmaker, Mick shares a candid look at what drives him to create.

They dive into:

How Mick’s unconventional path shaped his voice as a storyteller.
The realities of indie filmmaking and staying true to your artistic instincts.
The importance of persistence, curiosity, and “getting things out of your system” to find your real calling.
Why failure, detours, and even being “a bum in Paris” can become part of an artist’s foundation.

This conversation is full of honesty, humor, and inspiration for anyone navigating their own creative journey.Links & Resources:
