Description

JACCAST is a cast about... well... Jac. Namely, the ideas that Jac is interested in as seen and expressed by the people Jac is friends with. Jac is a student at a university in the West, studying philosophy. However, philosophy is not his only interest: he is also interested in the arts; primarily design and film but also broadly appreciative of music and literature. He is also interested in technology. In the CCASTS about these topics, Jac talks to his friends and examines what these ideas mean for people in an effort to cause more dialogue between his personal community
