Yeah maybe we could do that tomorrow, or talk about the short film. Short film was really interesting to me when we discussed it the other day, I haven’t been getting much from the feature lately, the trail went cold for the moment, I’ll have to re-examine it somehow. I’m sure once I stop whining like a little child and get my lazy ass thinking about it I’ll come up with something Doom Eternal https://open.spotify.com/album/600ClrWRsAr7jZ0qjaBLHz?si=dV9JyzPMSPmIoO9wYTtWgw @21stCenturyUnderground Brandon @TheSamsaraStudios Salvatore @TheNeonCodex Mike @Mikevivace

Creativity can be a fickle and chaotic thing, in this week's episode our three trusted guides in all matters creative and artistic walk you through their individual processes. Beginning with the flighty and ephemeral idea stage where inspiration first strikes, all the way to following through with the disciplined and focused work of putting those ideas into action. After all, to do anything creative requires standing on the line between chaotic inspiration and structured practice...to further stress this point, the boys followed their usual podcast formula in a state of late night near-exhaustion.  Separación Short film https://youtu.be/KPyfa1Qpeq8 Follow us at:  @21stCenturyUnderground Brandon: @TheSamsaraStudios Mike: @MikeVivace Salvatore: @TheNeonCodex
