Warren Etheredge describes himself as a storyfinder—”I can mine narrative gold anywhere, from anyone,” he claims. And he’s amassed more than 3,000 interviews to prove it: from his compelling conversations with guests as host of The High Bar (once a television show, now a podcast), to his work helping combat veterans cope with PTSD through the art of storytelling at the Red Badge Project.
Etheredge is also a champion of other people’s stories—through his indefatigable support of the Seattle film community over the years. He is one of the founding faculty of TheFilmSchool, the former curator for the 1 Reel Film Festival at Bumbershoot, and a programmer for SIFF and a ton of other local and regional film festivals.
