Seeds
I have spent the last few years learning new skills. Discovering new desires. Goals I want to achieve. Planting seeds and watering them. I love to collaborate, so thought I’d share some seeds.
Directing - I’ve been a writer/creative director in advertising most my career. I’ve always wanted to direct and believe I can do it. Like I was born to do it and just haven’t done it. But I’ve been learning cinematography, lighting, and shooting a lot on my own the last 2 -3 years, and it feels natural to me. I have personal projects I’ve been working on, but definitely open to working with others. Trading skills to help each other. Etc. Putting that out there since I think the game has changed and there’s a lot of opportunities.
Sound Design/Scoring - I’ve invested in a home studio and really love sound design and scoring. I’ve never been paid to do it, but it’s a skill that I think I have in me.
Sound and Light Therapy - I think there is a big future in this, and I’m learning a lot about the science behind it. How healing sound can be, and light. Everyone is musical and most don’t realize it, and I think there could be a way to overcome this if done the right way. Instruments are getting very creative and intuitive, and you don’t need to know music theory to make music. Guitars and pianos can be intimidating, but turning nobs until something sounds good is something anyone can do. And it’s very meditative.
Creative Coaching - I love to help people with their ideas and writing, and I think I could turn that into something that isn’t being a creative director. I have learned many hacks for myself and I am endlessly fascinated by the mystery of creativity. It’s like a spiritual energy anyone can tap into. Anyone can be a writer. To get started on this I’d be down to help any aspiring writers/creatives for free and get some experience at it. I also very much embrace the therapy angle of this, and perhaps that is the angle I take on it. The narratives we tell ourselves keep us trapped, so you can apply writing techniques to your own life. You become a better writer from experiences, not by sitting down and writing all day. I think I could be good at this, so just putting it out there.
Film/TV Concepts - I have lots of ideas for both film and TV. That is not a flex. Just putting that out there.
