It's What Inside

I'm listening to: "I and Love and You" by The Avett Brothers (my new song on repeat)


I'm not the type of person to listen to an entire album, believe me I like to, but usually I get to one track thats so piercing that I must put it on repeat. 


For the past two days we have been working pretty much every hour of the day on corporate work. Things have gotten so busy corporate wise, that its overwhelming. And yes, that is a good thing...but I'm not as excited about it as I should be, i guess


One of the hardest things for me to deal with recently is the fact that the corporate part of our business has been consuming me.  First, I'm super thankful.  Being your own boss is nifty, it does come with a strange set of challenges, odd schedule, and insane hustle, but its awesome!  I wouldn't go back to sitting in that desk, pushing those same buttons over and over again.  Looking at the clock to see if it was 5pm....ugggghh its only 1:32pm. Eat, Sleep, Repeat. 


My heart is to do my part on this earth. I don't wanna sit by watching tv shows, going to parties, watching movies, go to work, come home, a bday party here and there.   I'm here for a reason, and I want to do my part, I want to do what I was called to do.   I want to use my camera for good.  Telling the stories that need to told.  Making the films that no one else wants to make.  BUT, right now I've gotta shoot commercials...edit promos and so on...not that I don't like that, its just not as balanced as we want right now, and we are really working on that.  I wanna film the kids in Swaziland to show the kids in America.  And right now, I just don't have the resources to do those kinds of things....well its not resources at all, I do have the resources, I just don't have the money for plane tickets.  There is much that America needs to see.  There are thousands of companies that make corporate videos for corporations...C&I is so much more than that.


And its not just Where You Are, its the passion behind all the things that we do. We put up with the corporate because we know whats inside of us, we know whats driving us.  I guess if you look at that Facebook account we have you would see that we do tons of videos, work with companies a lot, promo after promo, intro after intro, round and round.  But don't get it twisted. I wish you really could understand what we are cooking in the C&I kitchen.  


And if you give me time....believe just a little harder, I'll show you that i'm not a corporate boy at all...I"m a story teller, and I tell my stories with a film camera, and I'm surround by people that have given up a lot of things, step out beyond themselves, beyond what they thought they could do, said no to  American dream, and we are all daring to change the world. and that is what we will always be about.
