The Creativity Delusion
A 3-chapter documentary about the stories we tell ourselves around creativity. Using a plethora of studies from anthropology, psychology and neuroscience, the film tries to demystify the way we use our brains to create, to make art and science. The products of our minds are extraordinary, but the process in which they are brought about are in fact, quite ordinary. Shakespeare copied. Mozart copied. Picasso copied too. But we're still obsessed with originality. We're living in the most creative time in humanity's existence, so maybe it's time to rethink our preconceptions about creativity.

The Creativity Delusion is a multi-part video essay on how our misconceptions about ideas and the way brains work impact our views about creation. These also extend to intellectual property.
Episode 2We're All Geniuses13 min
Ideas only seem magical and the product of genius because we refuse to see all the work, knowledge and remix that’s behind that complete and polished product. In this second part of our mini-series, we'll find out that minds do not operate differently to different people.
Episode 3Geniuses Steal16 min
Shakespeare copied. Mozart copied. Picasso copied too. We're obsessed with originality. But we're slowly destroying the very creativity we want to protect. "Good artists copy, bad artists steal" was stolen by a lot of people. This is the last video in our three-part series.
