About Earth Makers: Messy Movies and Messier Humans
Welcome to the new phase of Earth Makers! Join creator/host, movie nerd, and Quaker Buddhist practitioner Johanna Bear as she holds space around messy human stories, cinema, and the spirit that connects them both. An avid cinephile from childhood and a queer, trans woman, Johanna has understood her existence in the world primarily through the viewing of films and this podcast is an experiment in seeing ourselves and all beings in everything from our inherent messiness to the greatest films of history and the unsung films of independent artists.
