info_outlineIn this episode, we speak with Director-Producer-Filmmaker-Podcaster-Writer-Cinematographer, Scott Homan. Scott was raised in the fiercely DIY "Northwoods" of Wisconsin deep in the wild of the Great Lakes region. His music community created Oh The Crib! records in a house in the forest as teenagers, where they recorded two albums while being influenced by a cult. He ran camera and sound for a local news station and then went to university for photography and digital media.
Today he runs Banana Island Films, which was born in Hanoi, Vietnam during his five years there. He directed a music scene documentary, Hanoi Mixtape, which you can watch at HanoiMixtape.com. Witness Underground is his sophomore film and a much bigger project which includes the Witness Underground Podcast, a series, "XJW Coming Out," and an artist grant. His present projects all focus on artists escaping cults, especially musicians. The proceeds from watching Witness Underground on Patreon go towards fostering new healing art through an ex-cult-member artist grant program.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Scott embarked on a new career, moved to the other side of the planet for 5 years in Vietnam, rebuilt his sense of self, and gained the skills to tell a cult exit story in a unique way that they’re all very proud of.
2) Scott’s focus is to share the journey of what happens when people leave a cult, and how they now share their creative expression through their art and music. He openly shares this journey of creating community and humanizing the experience of life after the cult without the feelings of being re-traumatized.
