Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 308: Joyfully Parenting & Experiencing Gifted and 2e Children, with Marc Smolowitz · 25 Oct 2022 podcast

So we had found these six stories, we had gone to those places,

and we had the money and we had been able to go film them.

And then the pandemic happened and it was sort of this strangely

Kind of wonderful opportunity for me to sort of step back and really kind of think about what movie are we making here?

Right.

Because the sort of funny thing about the pandemic is that I couldn't go out and shoot any movies for an entire year, right?

But I could work here at my office and remotely with my editors on post-production.

And so we just started editing the G word.

And so these six stories that I've been telling you about, my creative approach was to first edit them.

As six standalone stories, right?

So they had to each work on their own and they had to be creative and involving with strong characters and sort of work as a standalone piece.

And then we actually showed those six pieces to a curated group of gifted folks, people who were professionals, scholars, community members, and we got deep, deep feedback.

So I would screen the work.

Work on Vimeo and a private link with password.

Then we would get groups together of six to ten people and I would conduct a Zoom feedback session.

And the feedback was great.

It was so encouraging and affirming that A, we're on the right track, that we're making a movie that people connect to, that they love the stories.

And they also helped kind of do that sort of preliminary vetting that we're getting it right, right?

That we're telling these stories authentically, with accuracy, gut checking some of the data ideas that are coming through in the film.

And that was so important to me to do that deep.
