294. Fr3deR1cK Taylor “Pre-Existing Freedom”

Fr3deR1cK Taylor is an artist who doesn’t just cross boundaries, he smashes them.  He’s a filmmaker, a writer, a performance artist, and more.  My favorite descriptor for Fr3deR1cK is “public intellectual,” because in my opinion the world needs intelligent, learned people to influence society.  His Documentary Short “Pre-Existing Freedom” was an Official Selection at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Individual, Documentary.  And I’m proud to say that you can catch “Pre-Existing Freedom” in Season 7 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!
