Gita Wisdom presents, In Good Company, a monthly interview series.
This month we speak with renowned artist/writer/filmmaker, Iain McCaig.
Iain McCaig and Joshua Greene have a forty-year history as collaborative storytellers. Whether to entertain or enlighten, their relationship sprang from a mutual desire to create stories to remember and share them with the world, Join them for an intimate conversation about creation and collaboration, of a forty-year journey to tell an ever-changing version of ’The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ and the story of ‘Hanuman’, and their joy of using make-believe to search for the truth.
Guest Speaker
Iain McCaig has worked for over 40 years in the entertainment industry.
