Reclaiming Joy in a Mechanical World w/ Filmmaker Nick Bash

How film, as a relatively young art form, is still learning to match the depth and immersion of literature

What Chesterton's Orthodoxy revealed to Nick about joy, and how that discovery drove the making of The Last Bonaparte

The communal nature of filmmaking and how the process of telling a story begins to mirror its themes

How setting the film in 2084 draws on Orwellian themes to sharpen Chesterton's critique of standardization and bureaucracy

Why Tolkien's philosophical writings on creativity convinced Nick that faithful Christian storytelling means crafting a story, not a sermon
