Yes, I noticed this the other day, quite by accident, that a short film I was a producer on (associate producer to be exact) has made its way to the ‘07 Cannes Film Festival in France. I’m just really amused at this because it was a film I worked on almost 9 years ago. It wasn’t very good then and from what I can see online, it hasn’t improved with age. That was another career and another life of mine. It’s just funny that things from so long ago still live on, when they probably shouldn’t.

It’s a life I rarely think about anymore. It’s amazing what happens when we give our vision up to the Lord and he returns it with His own vision and purpose for your life. I’ve always loved movies and was certain that what I was created to do. I worked in the industry and found myself completely and utterly bored with it. My adventure in life didn’t start till I handed my life and dreams completely and wholly over to the Lord. It’s been an amazing journey.

Here are some things I learned about the film industry:

1) People can make a career out of BSing.

2) It’s mainly about love of yourself (ego) and making sure others do so too.

3) Truth is relative and ultimately based on opinion.

4) It’s rarely about making film and more about making people feel important.
5) There is no such thing as originality, but you hear it talked about often.
