O Me O Life Episode 03 - Jessica Chriesman

In this episode, I was happy to be joined by Jessica Chriesman, the Director of Education and Outreach for Sidewalk Cinema and MAP Fellow. We talked about storytelling and how humans craft narratives to make sense of their world. She shared her approach to documentary filmmaking and her perspectives on the film festival experience. We also talked about the Book and Film club she organizes and about creativity.
