Hero Image for SAG-AFTRA Podcast ep. 88 "Effective Ways to Level Up Your Content"

SAG-AFTRA members and ‘Riding the D with Dr. Seeds’ co-creators Sarah Seeds and Lindsay-Elizabeth Hand talk shop about turning an original idea into an original production.

My goal with every project is to … help creators think bigger. So instead of scaling down, I always ask creators to [ask themselves], ‘What else can we do?’”

SAG-AFTRA Member, Producer

Social platforms have become a space where aspiring and experienced performers can experiment and create new ideas. Every so often, what starts off as a sketch or a viral hit shows potential, and with the right tools and team, can become much more.
