Jeffrey and Joseph had to walk right through the Dog Park to get here, so please watch this interview and ensure their sacrifice was not in vain.
This is, like any creative business, a very tough business to break into. Thanks to social media and the fact that our community seems smaller and closer knit than something like film, it sometimes seems like it should be pretty easy to do, but it’s not. You have to do good work and keep doing it everyday. You have to work to make connections and you have to prove yourself over and over again. The overnight success idea is a myth in any business, including ours. People who break through “overnight” work for years on building relationships and creating/putting out good consistent work. Sure, a little luck and good timing is key too, but the only way to not fail at this thing (at any thing I suppose) is to keep doing it until the answer is yes. I’m sorry there are no magic beans or something. I wish someone would ask me that question and I could just hand them adorable magic beans and go “Yes, actually, use these! They rock!”
