Episode 17: Making TV, documentaries, feature films, music videos, and ad campaigns with creative producers Denise Eriksen, Craig Griffin, and Sheridan Wadelton.

Everything you watch on TV, online, or at the movie theatre is nothing without the producer’s who pull it all together to get it to you. That’s why today I’m talking to three amazing creative producers who have worked across TV, feature films, music videos, commercials, and much more

Topics discussed:

1. What creativity is to them
2. What helps fire their creative juices
3. A right-brain tip.
4. And they answer a question from The Right-brain Workout, which is the bizarre: "If aliens were to drop lines from the sky to catch humans like we catch fish, what would be the best bait?"
