Catherine and Jed discuss what it means to be creative, and ask the question: Are you creative if you create or does what you create need to be considered great?  While anchoring the conversation in the world of video and film production, they share a story or two about getting praise or criticism from when they've shared their creativity, and what they've learned away. Whether creating a story idea, a video for your organization, or a narrative short film, creators strive to make their mark, bring their unique point-of-view, and hopefully share it with others. But is that all there is to it for considered art?If you'd like to learn more about The Video Garage, please Follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook
