Lubomir Arsov is a Bulgarian-Canadian artist and filmmaker based in Toronto, creator of the films IN-SHADOW and KINGDOM — visual journeys through the unconscious that have reached millions.

In this conversation:

The salacious distractions — pornography, false adventure, perpetual healing, productivity worship, and the deeper pull underneath them all.

Serve yourself first — why a man has to master his own feelings and needs before he can truly serve others, and how bypassing yourself turns service into approval-seeking.

Taking custody of matter — the masculine work of bringing conscious awareness into the body, and making space for what you feel without fleeing into the mind.

Victimhood as distraction — the negative pleasure of the story that something was done to you, and the process of completing the past.

Balancing the equation — how many years you spent stacking one side of the scale with injustice, and what it takes to bring equal weight to your own healing.

Eric's death — the avalanche that rewrote everything, and the direct line from tragedy to fatherhood.
