A travel itch turned into a life shift. We sit down with Terin from Traveling with Terin to trace how a family plan to tent-camp through lockdown became a mission to spotlight Louisiana’s culture, hidden eats, and small-town stories—then veered into indie filmmaking.

Filmmaker Ashe Reese walks us through creating his own cartoon series from scratch. Ash’s Cajun roots fuel the voice of his shows, from food and festivals to the rhythms of Gulf Coast talk. He’s intentional about balancing local flavor with wider appeal, sanding just enough to travel while keeping the soul intact. And yes, we talk AI. Ash rejects the shortcut culture that treats prompts as authorship. For him, AI is a power tool: great for fake toy ads and parody promos that break the acts, never a stand-in for writing, acting, timing, or direction OR for the cartoons he creates.. he does those by hand. That ethic pairs with a strategic home base—public access TV—so he can air five nights a week, retain ownership, and iterate until the season is ready for broader platforms.

A guitar class, a choir stand, and a daydream: that’s where our conversation with filmmaker Warren Mitchell begins—and it quickly unfolds into the raw, unvarnished story behind his debut feature, Aspire. Warren opens up about discovering his autism diagnosis, choosing transparency as a creative tool, and shaping a story about independence, work, and love in New Orleans that reflects reality without reducing it to a label.
