Not knowing is a skill “I don't know" is a thought category in Abigail Housen's manual of all the things people say in front of artworks. Her research, which grew into VTS, lays out how comments change as people spend more time looking at art. Interestingly, beginner viewers do not say "I don't know" in any form. They are certain about what they see. They list what's there, and if you ask for more, they state matter-of-factly, "that's all there is." Then, after months or years looking or doing VTS, suddenly viewers start saying "I don't know.." Not-knowing enters with practice. Similarly, with time spent looking, people ask more questions, and, surprising, don’t finish their sentences or garble them. (Do they rethink their idea mid-sentence? Are they seeing things they can’t put into words?) Housen's research doesn't answer why it happens, her research only documents that it does happen. Not knowing, questioning, and not finishing take time to learn. This culture may treat those responses as signs of ignorance, or lack, but research shows the opposite - they take work to learn. They are skills. Want to learn more surprising facts about the research behind VTS? Join us in the VTS Learning Milestones and Research class this February!

Success Factors for International Co-Productions 🤝🏻🎬 As someone who has been fortunate to work on numerous international productions, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to bring a global project to life. Co-productions are more than just financial partnerships—they’re about blending creative talents, cultural insights, and diverse perspectives to create something truly unique. Here’s what I’ve learned over the years: 1️⃣ Unified Creative Vision: No matter where your partners are from, the foundation of any successful co-production is a shared vision. When everyone—from directors to producers—works toward the same creative goal, the result is a cohesive and compelling story. 💡 2️⃣ Cultural Sensitivity: Every country brings its own traditions, values, and storytelling approaches. Embracing these differences enriches the narrative and ensures authenticity, which resonates with audiences across the globe. 🌎 3️⃣ Trust & Agility: Working internationally involves navigating different time zones, languages, and work styles. Flexibility and open communication are critical to overcoming challenges and making collaboration seamless. 4️⃣ Robust Financing & Distribution Networks: By pooling resources, financing becomes attainable, and each partner’s distribution reach helps the film find its audience on a global scale. 📈 International co-productions are more than just partnerships—they’re about creating a cultural exchange that enriches the cinematic experience. I’m grateful to have been part of projects that brought diverse perspectives together to create something universal. What are your thoughts on the future of co-productions? 👇
