It's time to pay it forward.
I am a filmmaker. And make movies. That's what I do. It's hard for me to imagine doing something in the entertainment business outside of being an artist. But it's time to start paying things forward. Some changes are coming.
Last month, I was on the Film Jury at the 2012 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. And I'll be honest. Being on the film jury there for eight days, watching movies, and helping other filmmakers, gave me a different perspective on some things. Reflecting back on my background of over 25 years in stage and film, I've done a lot over the years. Been a lot of places. Done a lot of things. Shared my art, messages, and have got films out to the world. Slamdance was the first place that screened one of my films years ago. And now, here I am, helping fellow filmmakers with getting their films screened. It's destiny.
It's time to pay it forward.
I'll be helping a handful of filmmakers who had films in Park City this year get their films out on the festival circuit. And branch out to other filmmakers as well. We all have stories to tell. And can't do it alone. Well, you can. But I'll be honest. It helps to have people in your back pocket.
And that's what this new film festival consultant is here for. To help the next generation of filmmakers get their stories out to the world.
