We storytellers have one golden code: to Serve and Protect the Story. The story takes precedence above all things; the whims of the current trend, the betrayal of lazy writing and our own egos.
I've worked in the Hollywood system and the independent world. The truth is that telling great stories outside of the Hollywood system is the creatively satisfying way to make great work, quickly..
Focus on creating profound, deep stories that will stand the test of time. Don't blindly follow trends or try to emulate recent successes; tell stories from your soul!
Achieve your filmmaking dreams swiftly and effectively.
