Episode Details

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Currie Lee!

Who is Currie Lee: Filmmaker and artist with a photography background, focused on visual stories about complicated relationships.

In our conversation, Currie talks through her short film The Haze—a psychological horror about a toxic relationship. She connects the project to personal moments that pulled her back into making art and digs into choices that shaped the film’s edit and camera language. As she puts it, “you’re upset and unhappy because you’re not the one making the art.”

She recalls a Q&A after a screening where she realized she was speaking before she’d decided to—steadying herself by looking to friends in the front row. We get into collaboration and making adjustments when feedback or funding reshapes a plan, and how staying connected keeps the work moving.

Be sure to follow Currie Lee to keep up with her films and future projects.
