Dear friends, listeners, and podcast guests—we are so grateful for your support over the past 3 seasons of A BRIGHTER LENS! Producing the podcast has been a labor of love and joy for us. The time has come for us to wrap our work on this project as we each pursue our own work.

[A Brighter Lens Podcast @ABrighterLens]

We started the podcast to learn how to make a short film and to listen to some other stories that were not in the mainstream. After 70 episodes and 3+ years of making this podcast, we’re coming away with more knowledge and stories that we ever dreamed of!
