Dale vision wheels his way through some serious seasonal feelings in this episode with filmmaker and writer, Shaina Feinberg. Dale and Shaina have both grappled with the passing of a parent and while Shaina has used her grief to generate important new works of cinema, Dale has spent several hours not doing anything in front of a salt lamp. How can the creative process be helpful to the grieving process? How can funeral traditions be turned into a improvisational short film? How can we be comfortable in the pants we’re in right now? These and other weighty questions are explored this week in the Deep Night. Plus Shaina also discusses her work on the acclaimed series Dinette and talks about some practical methods of self-care that can help keep a person motivated, even in dark times.
