S5 Ep82: VIE Speaks Episode 82: "The Spirit of Halloweentown" - A Conversation with Brett Whitcomb

In this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul, our host, VIE editor Jordan Staggs, sits down with Brett Whitcomb. Brett is part of a documentary filmmaker team with Bradford Thomason. Brett's catalog oscillates between archive-rich nostalgic portraits of pop culture, compelling stories of female empowerment, and observational snapshots of under-explored cultures. Brett's film "The Spirit of Halloweentown" showed at the Redfish Film Festival. The Disney Channel Original Movie “Halloweentown” was filmed in St. Helens, Oregon, and Whitcomb's film is an observational portrait of St. Helens 25 years later focusing on its residents as they transform the town and navigate their inescapable identity. Brett also shares tips for aspiring documentarians, hoping to inspire the next generation of filmmakers.
