Interviews with Creators who give a sh*t.
At some point, the stories we told each other stopped helping us navigate life and avoid venomous spiders. They became commercially corrupted; algorithms became hungry for negative content.
But in the corners of the internet, there are Creators working against the algorithms to build weird creative spaces that make things a little better.
In Move Over Mother Theresa, these Creators break down their creative process, share their strategies, and reveal the real life ripple effects of their work.

Trailer - Move Over Mother Theresa
At some point, the stories we told each other stopped helping us navigate life and avoid venomous spiders. They became commercially corrupted.
Then we built algorithms that rewarded those new stories that caused outrage and division. Toxic stories that bred toxic beliefs.
But in the corners of the internet, there are Creators working against the algorithms to build weird creative spaces that make things a little better.
In Move Over Mother Theresa, these Creators break down their creative process, share their strategies, and reveal the real-life ripple effects of their work.
