The producer of This American Life on getting good at creating by starting bad.

Man. This is one of the best pieces on the creative life, how to make good films, how to work through the bits where you know you’re not making good films, that I’ve ever heard. Please, everyone in the Machinima world, listen to this one.

P.S. - so, Overman, you’re all kinds of right with your current approach.

    Yep, that’s a winner, Hugh. Need to listen this one about a hundred times. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Great, great, great. Ira Glass is so smart and sincere. You know, I think he’s got a short pamphlet (Radio: An Illustrated Guide) on setting up a podcast/radio show, too, that I picked up a year or so ago via Amazon. Not as good as this, but still excellent info honestly presented.

    I agree completely with every word John said. Especially the first three.

    That’s the most encouraging thing any new film-maker can hear. It’s OK to be crap. Just persevere.
