STORIES TALK GOOD

By Sam

Stories feed our souls. This newsletter serves up a weekly helping of—ahem—mostly true stories from Sam Scott, a storyteller in East Tennessee.

Between Frames

By Elaine McMillion Sheldon

Through the lens of cinema and personal storytelling, Between Frames is about finding wisdom in the pauses, the silences, and the in-between moments that define how we live, work, and connect with the places and stories around us.

Elaine is one of the most human storytellers working—an artist who could've sold out but stayed independent to remain truer to the people she documents and be uncompromised in her art. And if you ignore that, she was nominated for an Oscar. So go and subscribe. Now.
