Illumine. Have you heard this word before? It’s the direct line to illumination. It’s the act of clarifying, which only eventually leads to clarity. But what if it was also defined as ‘the will to live’? What if Illumine is the unknown that lives inside all of us? Welcome to the Illumine podcast, with your host Sarah Shedd. Each week we sit down with filmmakers, writers, actors, fine-artists, and healers to share stories and answer the why behind creativity itself. We’ll discuss the context of a project, a dream, or a mission and get to its core — we will see why and how each core shines. Produced by Sophie Kohn, we invite you to open your minds, and your hearts, to greater luminosity.

This week I'm chatting with one Sophie's dear friends Sanne Kortooms Sanne is a Dutch director, screenwriter and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. She is known for her black comedy To Catch a Fly (2017) for which she received five "Best Director of a Short Film" awards. And in 2021 she was named one of the winners at the New York Film + TV Festival with the film installation “Not Everything Is What It Seems.” In all her work, either fiction or documentary, Sanne always tries to focus on people and their personal story or psyche. It is her goal to let her viewers fully immerse in a world they (might) have never experienced before and make them wonder about themselves and the world we live in.
