The Design Of a Producer, Conversation Starter, and Listener: Meet Samantha Curley

Do you create the space to have conversations with strangers or people who travel in different circles than you? How often do you consider others before yourself? In this episode, you'll meet someone who has spent the last several years doing just that. Sometimes the stars align and you get to meet someone who is incredibly brilliant, charming and has the ability to influence the way you see the world. Samantha Curley, an independent producer and creative entrepreneur, is one of those rare individuals.

As the co-founder and executive director of Level Ground, a nonprofit arts collective, production incubator, and festival in Los Angeles, California, Sam has been an advocate for creating conversations in the LGBTQ+ community. In this episode you’ll hear how this truly special leader has just produced her first short, Framing Agnes, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, and is now starting the feature-length version. Samantha will help you to have a deeper perspective on approaching conversations, people, and working out your own story so you can truly hear others.
