Storytellers: The Story Behind the Creatives | Episode 1
Storytellers: The Stories Behind the Creatives
We believe everyone has a story to tell. With Storytellers, not only do we sit down with creators, artists, character actors and small business owners to talk about things you know and love like working Knott’s Scary Farm, participating in Midsummer Scream, or growing within the Halloween-based community we all participate in, but diving deeper into getting to know them. Human connection is a beautiful part of life, and we hope that sharing these stories with you will bring you a sense of connection.
Episode 1 is a long form interview with the intrepid, feral and fearless leader of Fractured Compass Productions and Feral Cat Candles and Curiosities, Bri Wynters. You may know her from Knott’s Scary Farm as the Wildcat of Ghost Town. I had the privilege of talking with her about growing up in a small family unit, having a wildly vivid imagination, a deep love for music, encountering and overcoming various hardships with bullying and anger, finding an inner sense of calm and peace through martial arts, Knott’s Scary Farm, Dungeons and Dragons, and much more.
Join me in learning more about this elusive feral cat of a person, who has brought so much joy and light into my life. Who is a fierce, protective and loyal friend, an incredibly loving and sincere wife, and has a beautiful story to share with all of you today.
