Finding Creativity

Creativity is a universal language, expressed in a multitude of ways through anyone who is willing to open themselves up to it. But creativity isn’t without its struggles and hardships as we use it to seek growth, knowledge and expression within our own lives. Directed by Roger Ungers, ‘Finding Creativity’ turns to local artists as they discuss their own experiences with their creative journeys. 

We’re introduced to Dr. Tim Patston, a Coordinator of Creativity and Innovation, who provides an objective and informative analysis on the creative process which acts as the backdrop for the experiences of current artists working within their medium, making for a compelling and analytical documentary. Along with Holly Grace (Glass Artist), Coskun Uysal, (Chef/Restaurant Owner), Henry Brett (Singer/Songwriter) and Jan Own (Social Entrepreneur), we learn to look at creativity through their eyes and their works as they explain their accomplishments, fulfilment and struggles during their creative process.

‘I think a lot of people think that creativity belongs in the arts because that’s where it’s very visual. But in all fields, there is no doubt that creativity is core’.  

• Jan Own

While being surrounded by a world of business, capitalism and wealth, it’s refreshing to hear the stories of local artists and their passion for living a creative life. Ungers give us a breath of fresh air in this film.
