I spent years sitting by the phone hoping the perfect part would magically fall in my lap. Eventually, I discovered my story would never be told unless I wrote it.
These are a collection of lessons I've learned in my 12-year journey on how the modern day artist and actor must can create his or her own opportunities.
-- Creating your own content
is much easier than you think with the Internet, accessible state of the art camera
gear (including the camera on your phone), and filmmaking resources like Final
Draft Pro and Story Writer on Amazon. As Shazi Visram, founder of Happy Family
food company notes, “If you are creative and you know how to execute your
ideas, you can win and you can build something that is a living, breathing work
of art.”
-- Learn from the greats.
Watch interviews and read articles from the artists you admire most and pay attention to how they took bold action to get their voices heard. I highly recommend Mark Duplass's speech, "The Cavalry is Not Coming."

-- Find a team of like-minded
collaborators committed to creating new and original content and getting it out
through the countless channels at your disposal.
-- Just get started and learn
as you go.
