This special episode about how to make art worthy of accolades, using the 2023 Oscar for Best Picture 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' as a case study. When I fall in love with a piece of art I go on an internet binge to learn as much as possible about its creators and its origin story: what inspired it, who made it, under what circumstances, and with what obstacles and what allies.
After doing that for EEAAO, I learned so much that I just HAD to share it. It reinforced the ways I’ve already been treating myself, my process, and my art AND how I coach other creatives.
The lessons I’ve learned from EEAAO, in no particular order, are:
- Having imposter syndrome doesn’t mean shit.
- Believe that others believe, and let that be enough.
- Allow the journey to make your idea better.
- Let go of being the best and just get started first.
- Success is a lot closer and a lot more possible than you think.
Let these lessons help you start getting in your own way. Need more support? Subscribe to my newsletter and get on my VIP waitlist at makingartistspodcast.com or connect with me on IG @thenancysun.
