Out of college I worked as a production assistant on any set anyone would let me on. After a couple years I was hired by film producer, Sam Mercer, who took me from LA to Philly to work with M. Night Shyamalan where I worked on the film, The Last Airbender. Several years later I would return to Philly to launch my production company, Neighborhood Film Company, with a mission to hire adults returning home from incarceration.
A Walk to Remember
Being able to make my first feature film in Philadelphia with the crew who helped shape me as a Director is certainly the highlight of my career so far.
Probably a Goo Goo Dolls CD.
Build a company that can outlive you. Before I started my company a mentor of mine said that most entrepreneurs build companies that live and die by their presence. But if you want to make something truly sustainable make it like a star fish. A star fish can lose a limb and still survive. In fact they grow the limb back. So at my company I constantly look to hire people who are better fit to run it than me. Whose influence is more powerful and more dynamic than mine. I want to work with people whose talent intimidates me.
