As a new series in the Garden, we’re going to devote more time and space to our Artist Members. Literally. For this regular feature, we’re going to share conversations with Artist Members to let the world get to know some of the next great generation of artists and storytellers. This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Eden De Jesus. The Chicago-based filmmaker was kind enough to leave the sub-zero temperatures of his hometown for sunny Los Angeles to attend The Art of Art sneak preview screening a few weeks ago. We took the opportunity to catch up with Eden and let him talk a little about his experience with the HV Community so far, including the Film Incubator program.

For more about Eden and his work, check out his Artist Member page on HV. Don’t forget to follow him (and us) on social media for all the exciting news and updates about his project with the HV Film Incubator!
