The Lindwall Brothers - Green and Gold Movie, Roots, and Selling the Sizzle - Ep. #36

Being raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan holds a special place in the hearts of Anders and Davin Lindwall. It almost pours out of them in conversation. Following formative years, both have been on a journey of creativity, of which the most recent product, "Green and Gold", tells the story of a farmer (Craig T. Nelson) who bets it ALL on the Packers. The brothers aim to tell the story of the unsung heroes who shape communities, preserve traditions, and steadfastly anchor the world through selfless kindness, unwavering hard work, and a profound appreciation for life’s simplest yet most valuable things. In this episode, Davin and Brad discuss the creative process behind the film and the presence of Craig T. Nelson, the culture of the Upper Midwest and the area being underrepresented in cinema, creative freedom, light at the end of the tunnel, HUGE partners like the Packers and Culver's, empathy in humanity, and the crucial moment of turning down a massive deal to keep the authenticity of the film! Then, Anders and Brad discuss creating the film and working with his brother, the friendship that developed with Craig T. Nelson, striving for truth and authenticity, balancing what's next and what's now and keeping humanity in hectic times, stewarding the seeds of creativity, work-life balance for overachievers, BIG dreams and belief in them, and the value of persistence.
