The Process of Creation & Collaboration with the Group Behind the Multimedia Project “The Flu”
This week on the Make It Happen Podcast, we are joined by Ian Silva, Andrew Tylenda, and Marissa Vianée. They are the creators behind the multimedia project “The Flu”. It would be limiting to just call them a band because much of their expression shines through in the music videos and artwork they create to exist alongside their music.
They talk about how they came up with the idea for their band, what their individual methods are for contributing to the project, and what motivates them as creators. Their music videos are silly and fun to watch and they openly share what the hilarious behind the scenes process is like when they get together to film!

Daniel is a bit of a pessimist so he brings some outrageous anecdotes to share from his time touring with his cynical twist of humor.
On this episode of the Make It Happen Podcast, Melanie is going solo to explain what it really means to “make it happen”, the impact it has had on her approach to life, how she started her blog and stepped out of her comfort zone, and the way you, too, can develop the make it happen attitude.
