OUTBOUND THINKING
When in the field, many variables play into whether you’re going to get the shot or not.

I get the feeling that a large part of our culture (and youth in particular), aren’t growing in the areas of their passion because they aren’t encouraged to learn from those they want to be like. Something profound that I’ve discovered is that a large percentage of the most influential individuals around today or in the past have either written books, or had books written about them.

Early April has quickly become one of our favorite parts of the year. We spent this last week in Las Vegas at the annual NAB show having meetings with some of the largest manufacturers in the film industry.

Kyler and I are extremely exhausted, but far more excited about the opportunities that are coming from these past few days – many exciting things to be announced.
