In the fifth episode of my third season, I am joined by Jackie Torrens and Jessica Brown to overthink about collaboration.

We dive into:
​

• Collaboration and mutual respect.
• You can't be good at all of the things.
• Creating the work (and the community) you want to see.
Jackie Torrens is a Halifax-based actor, writer and film director. She and producer Jessica Brown have, under their company Peep Media, completed four documentary films for CBC, the Documentary Channel and Bravo which include Edge of East, My Week on Welfare, Small Town Show Biz and Bernie Langille Wants to Know Who Killed Bernie Langille, which premiered this spring at Hot Docs. Jackie has also done two documentary films for Telltale Productions, Free Reins and the feature length Radical Age.
