Written and produced by Corey deVos

Filmmaker, life coach, and long-time Integral friend Jason Lange sits down with Corey deVos to talk about his new television series, Stuck in Development, now available on all major streaming platforms.

Stuck in Development is an indie comedy series about a guy that moves to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams of being a writer/director, but instead spends all of his time on personal growth and development. It’s full of truths and absurdities about what it takes to be an artist, entrepreneur, and growth-oriented person in our modern (and postmodern) age.

Watch as we discuss:

  • Jason’s experiences and inspirations behind the new series,
  • Strategies for dealing with creative blocks and feelings of “being stuck”,
  • Suspension of disbelief as a common form of ego-transcendence,
  • The critical role of film and television as an “empathy machine” in service of cultural transformation,
  • The economic and creative pressures of the entertainment industry,
  • Key perspectives to help punch through the culture of cynicism we are all surrounded with,
  • How integral artists often play with themes of both transformation and translation — and why both are necessary.

We hope you enjoy this fun and fascinating conversation at the intersection of art, creativity, and commerce.

But wait… there’s more!

Learn Integral By Watching Movies (and Playing Video Games!)

Corey deVos and Ryan Oelke

Take a cinematic journey through the major stages of human development, using a series of 22 carefully-curated film clips (and more than 30 video games) to illustrate some of the most important qualities of each stage. Because these stages are so difficult to point to in our immediate experience, we’ve compiled a series of short clips from some very popular films and games, each of which demonstrates some aspect of that stage — the view from that stage, the values of that stage, or the general leadership styles associated with that stage — offering some well-known cultural reference points to help flesh out our understanding of these stages of growth and development. What’s more, these clips will help demonstrate how integral ideas can be applied to any medium or genre, while deepening our appreciation and enactment of our most treasured cultural artifacts.

Integral Journalism in the Disinformation Age

Stefan Schultz and Corey deVos

In this fun and far-ranging discussion, Corey deVos talks to Stefan Schultz about his own integral approach to journalism, taking a careful look at the primary methods and motivations of journalism we see at each major stage of development. They then go on to suggest what a more integral form of journalism might look like, while also exploring a number of related topics — the role of art and aesthetics in journalism, the distinction between orthodox and heterodox sources of information, the collapse of legitimacy in our media institutions, and much more.
