Are you growing in the right garden? If not, move to a garden you can love. And then cultivate the garden you’re in. The seeds of creativity can be planted anywhere. Peter Prince (CBC, National Geographic, National Film Board - NFB), an outdoorsy musician and filmmaker, grew up, learned and practiced his craft in the busy concrete canyons of Toronto, Canada. He loved shooting for well-known clients on trips to beautiful exotic locations but dreaded the hours spent in an urban edit suite putting projects together. So, as his reputation grew, so did his wanderlust and after trotting around the globe on various cinematography assignments, Peter relocated his family to Salt Spring Island off the west coast of Canada, home to a enclave of mutually supportive artists. There, he continued his film career and became a popular singer-songwriter too! It’s a small world after all and the internet makes it even smaller. Peter describes the challenges and triumphs that come from exercising your creative muscles off-shore ... whether in his own home recording studio or performing live at the world famous Tree House Café and numerous music festivals. Peter’s is an intriguing story and Marvin makes a meal of it!
