Creativity, mental health, and spiritual health are deeply connected domains of life. After spending years working with rockstars and filmmakers, I went to seminary. Since then I’ve been cultivating my own creative practice. Experience convinced me that exercising creativity can help us realize who we’re supposed to be and manifest a better world.

Beverly Hills Interning, Bad Religion, and Trauma-Informed Screenwriting (feat. Aaron John Tao)
The episode starts with some storytelling about how I got started working in the entertainment industry at age 19—working for Madonna… kinda?
My guest today is filmmaker Aaron John Tao, who is part of a directing duo with his twin brother, Winston. He shares the bad religious ideas he’s had to shed in order to grow, heal from trauma, and make better art. The Tao Brothers’ films have been Vimeo staff-picked and won multiple awards at film festivals. Their feature script, “Goodbye, Hurricane”—about growing up with a mother diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar disorder—is Blacklist Recommended.
