S02E08: Ann Marie Fleming — Compelled to Share

Ann Marie Fleming is a prolific filmmaker, visual artist, and storyteller who has spent the bulk of her career exploring themes of history, family, and memory — both her own and others’. Be it her powerful short film You Take Care Now, which explores the trauma she experienced as a young woman, or The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam which explores the life of her great grandfather, or the adventures of Stickgirl, Ann Marie has long shared personal stories with the world. We recently spoke with the artist about inspiration, creativity and why she continues to tell and explore deeply personal stories in her art.
