I’m most excited by the last idea of a hybridization of these two concepts. There seems to be something inherently judgmental about the binary. How can we involve and build an audience without sharing every aspect of a vulnerable and sometimes necessary quiet and self reflective path to storytelling? That’s the real juice IMHO.

I don't disagree -- I think as the creator approach evolves, the best storytellers will find ways to share and engage audience without giving away the farm, so to speak.

Loved this - and was talking to another filmmaker about how much we should be sharing the process... We'll do some kind of shared posts about it soon!

Paynter take a similar "creator" approach to clothing. From their website:

"We wanted to show the entire creative process, with nothing held back, so we've documented every step of setting up Paynter via our Instagram and email newsletters."
