Collaborating on creative projects can be hard, but it’s oh-so rewarding. This talk from our Philadelphia chapter follows the creation a children’s television show from securing funding to designing the characters and sets.

Caitlin Corkery (the series creator) and Paul and Kevin (from the production company) share the tribulations and triumphs of working with a small budget and a scrappy team to make something they’re proud of. As Caitlin said, it’s “an act of overcoming obstacles and remaining joyful throughout the process.”

This talk was suggested by Justin Geller.
