Screenography
“...having worked in traditional mainstream media, you're aware a lot of stuff that we consume and put out there is kind of more the clickbait [and] negative. So I'm really supportive of those platforms and environments that allow us to ... step out of the rush, and just let it kind of soak in a little bit more.”
