Deep Dive with Edward Burns and Gretchen Mol on Making

Deep Dive with Edward Burns and Gretchen Mol on Making

Filmmaker Edward Burns and actress/designer Gretchen Mol discuss what keeps creative people going through doubt and disappointment. Both share how they discovered their callings, explore the magic of finding flow, whether in acting, writing or filmmaking and talk candidly about resilience in the creative process. Their film "Millers in Marriage" explores relationships after age 50, that golden time when kids are grown and it's finally easier to pursue long-delayed dreams. As Eddie perfectly puts it: "If not now, when?" Whether launching a dress line like Gretchen or making your 14th film like Eddie, they remind us that the joy is found in making itself, not in the outcome. The key to creative longevity? Managing your energy and surrounding yourself with supportive people who believe in your vision.
