This weekend, we welcomed 48 artists, filmmakers, and friends from around our neighborhood to our first Bowling Social 🎳
Why bowling? Not only is it one of the country's oldest pastimes, but alleys like Timber Lanes are also a critical part of any city’s social infrastructure—a third space that's hosted countless great conversations since opening its doors in 1945.
Plus: Who doesn't like a little friendly competition?
We split everyone into 16 teams, then proceeded with a March Madness-style bracket. S/o to Kyle, Missy, and Carson of Team 8 for taking home the dub 🏆🤝
Thanks to the neighborhood for popping out—and the great @cris.campos31 for snapping photos, per usual 📸

“We have to adjust to viewers’ attention spans and give them stuff that's really engaging, without them knowing they’re being taught,” says Creator Mag's Fall cover star @maya_higa .
"At the end of the day, they're budding consumers, and they're budding voters. They're people that are developing their own personal philosophies about consumption...those are really important things for the future of our planet.”
We spent the last two months speaking with a dozen scientists, researchers, creators, and viewers to learn more about the state of science communication—and Maya's methods of "hiding the broccoli."
Dive into our cover story with Maya at the link in bio.

How we recreated Spike Lee's "double dolly" shot (for $0) 🎬
Towards the end of our latest doc, there's a sequence of events that can only be described as "surreal."
Therefore, we pushed ourselves to take a shot out of one of our favorite movie director's playbooks.

Last year, we began filming a documentary about the viral @maninbean conspiracy. We thought it would be a quick, funny investigation.
We were wrong.
Six months later, the final product is (as one filmmaker friend described it) a "Nathan Fielder-esque investigation of / love letter to Chicago, in the most unlikely but worthwhile ways."
