The greatest and most terrible thing about creativity is the way it spirals out of control. Not only is the forum a great place to discuss storytelling, members are also encouraged to post their own creative endeavours for comment and critique.

Not only has this podcast changed the way I watch movies, it also introduced me to an entire community who share my passion for creative pursuits.
