In this episode of Full Expression, host Dan Imhoff sits down with filmmakers  Charles Loi and Hannah Lee to explore storytelling, the climate climate, and the creative process.

Both trace their paths from early experiments with film to collaborating on Climate California, a documentary series that reimagines how we tell stories about the climate crisis from NorCal Public Media. The series shifts away from the doom and gloom approach to climate change reporting, and toward beauty, connection, and lived experience.

They discuss the challenges of making ambitious work with limited resources, the tension between message and aesthetics, and the responsibility of telling delicate stories with care.  They explore what it means to create something that resonates beyond the moment, and how art can bring people together around shared uncertainty, rather than division.
