Minter Dialogue with Josh Shelov

Josh Shelov is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker who has written, directed and produced feature-length films, documentaries and shorts, including directing for ESPN 30 for 30. Among his portfolio is my own film, The Last Ring Home. After 25 years of making films in Hollywood, Josh turned his attention to spreading the pleasure of writing. He founded and is CEO of Written Out Loud, designed to give creative kids the same team- and community-oriented validation that young athletes receive. In this chat, we discuss his career, lessons learned, and the power of storytelling. We also delve into his tremendous work at Written Out Loud as well as reflect back on the film we made together.
