Episode 26: Kim Steele
In the works is a film I've been looking for my entire life -- a climate romcom. And it couldn't be in better hands.
In this episode, I talk with Kim Steele, a narrative climate storyteller with an amazing background in acting, filmmaking, and Broadway theater. We talk about utilizing LinkedIn for filmmaking connections (who knew?!); the transition from Broadway; the importance of climate films -- but in an engaging way and the need for a Bechdel test for climate; the benefits of seeking nontraditional financing in indie films; filmmaking in Georgia and the value of networking laterally; and what's next for this trailblazer in filmmaking.
I'll spoil it: the climate romcom...and I can't wait.
