Ep 603: Receiving Delayed Attention with Stanley Tong

I reached out to chat with Stanley after seeing his “Thoughts and Prayers” series - a powerful body of work creating strong visuals on the actual effects of a bullet striking a form. A series, he actually made more than a year ago. And yet, only recently and quite suddenly, has gotten quite a lot of recognition. We talk about how the series came about and what’s happened in the year since, as well as the time he’s taking to figure out the next steps, instead of letting the internet push him into a constant state of urgency. Not to mention, the decision to use a platform to express a message and what may or may not happen if that message changes. In other words: Do you keep making the work you know people want, or… Do you change?

Love this podcast?

Consider supporting the creation of an episode! Each episode of the Maker’s Playbook takes about 3x as long to create as it does to listen. That means, a 1 hour interview episode with your favorite maker takes about 3 hours after the recording to get from our computers into your headphones. We love bringing these conversations to you and your support allows us to do more of that - hopefully a bit faster & with a bit more sleep.
