Show Notes

Today we have Jes Therkelson on the show. Jes Therkelsen is a documentary storyteller, filmmaker, photographer, and educator who has been telling the stories of others for over fifteen years. His most recent project, a short documentary film entitled One Step At A Time, follows three men as they overcome drug addiction and homelessness in California’s Central Valley. The film was an official selection of The Big Tell, a national film contest and film festival, featuring undiscovered stories from California’s Central Valley sponsored by the Central Valley Community Foundation and Bank of America. Therkelsen’s CV is a fascinating collection of experiences and projects across the world. This is a great conversation where we dig deep into narrative, filmmaking, travel, and much more.
