"Is Filmmaking Losing Its Soul? The Ethics & Redemption of Storytelling" | The Story Lab

The Story Lab Season 1 Episode 7

Has modern filmmaking become too agenda-driven? Are we losing the heart of storytelling in the name of expression?

In this episode of The Story Lab, we dive into the ethics of filmmaking, the power of redemptive arcs, and why the most impactful stories often come from a place of humility—not ideology. From indie films to advocacy docs, we explore why your why matters more than ever.

🎥 Topics we cover:

The fading moral compass in modern cinema
Why agenda-pushing alienates audiences
The role of redemption in the best stories
How faith, purpose, and ethics shape creative work

If you're a filmmaker wondering how to tell stories that matter—without preaching—this one’s for you.
