Keiph Oliver: You can lead the work...or keep waiting to be picked. Your choice.

Ilse sits down with writer–producer–multi-hyphenate Keiph Oliver for a conversation that’s equal parts business school, therapy, and creative pep talk.

They get into what it means to lead instead of chase, why filmmakers should stop gatekeeping their own work, and how YouTube might be a smarter move than Sundance.

Also in the mix: self-worth, faith, cold showers, equity over exposure, and why the Chicago film scene might be on the verge of something big.

If you’re a filmmaker, a creative, or just tired of asking permission to do what you love—this one’s for you.
