One of the great things about an iPhone (besides all the awesome apps) is that when you have one, you can always look busy.  Or at least give the appearance of being busy.  Ok, it really doesn’t fool anyone, but when you’re the one standing alone in a corner because you’re incredibly shy it helps  [ Read More ]

When I was a freshman in college, I had an internship that I walked away from because I was unsatisfied.  The internship was through an organization dedicated to placing talented minority youth in business positions.  I walked away because I felt it was training interns in how to be middle management, instead of truly successful  [ Read More ]

The annual NALIP Conference is this weekend.  NALIP is the National Association of Latino Independent Producers.  It’s a group that has been a huge support in my development as a filmmaker.  I attended their Writer’s Lab in 2008 and their Media Market where I was able to practice pitching my project in 2009.  This is  [ Read More ]

There’s a couple quotes floating around about what to shoot for, but I find it best to stick with the original: “If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it’s ok. But you’ve got to shoot for something. A lot of people don’t even shoot.” This quote is saying that if you aim  [ Read More ]

Well, you don’t have to be your job, if you don’t want to. A few months back, I was speaking to a friend who had recently been laid off. Here’s how the conversation went down: Him: “So how’s it going?” Me: “Well, I have a job.” Aaaaand, cringe. Only I didn’t mean it to be  [ Read More ]
