🎧 A cozy, behind-the-scenes podcast for artists, animators and storytellers. Put it on while you draw, animate or make your own art! In this episode we press play on the brain dumps that got this whole project started and react to them live. The story starts to take shape: a fragmented world where the wolves have forgotten why they howl. In this episode: - Charlie's "fragments" brain dump: a world, and a culture, broken into pieces. - What happens to a wolf pack that stops howling, and why that's where our story begins. - Lost ancestral knowledge and what we've forgotten as humans. - Jenna pushes back: everyone has a voice now, but we've lost the why. - An opening scene appears: a failed hunt, and a young wolf whose wild instincts get her into trouble. - The Dholes return, and how our hero might find them Do you like hearing our raw voice memos? Tell us in the comments! Hosted by Actor Jenna Pinchbeck and Filmmaker Charlie LaVoy.
