I’m back! *crickets* I know, I’ve been gone for far too long but, alas, it is time. The economy is still in the crapper, we’re all struggling financially, the industry keeps making bad 80’s remakes, most dummies…err… baby boomers don’t get ‘Where The Wild things Are’ and somehow some people still care about Lindsay Lohan! These truly are dark times. Who will save our little sphere covered in a mixture of oxygen, dirt, water, and a bunch of horny/destructive beings running around waving Bibles, Koran’s (sp), and Torah’s? TV! Just ask the awesome writers of Foreign Policy magazine. If only some of us had paid attention to the folks at Sesame Street who knew DECADES ago that introducing their show to developing world markets would do things like lower aids rates and encourage equality in places like Bangladesh. Television can change the world… Anymawho, I got into Television with this mentality, I really thought that I would bring an intellectual/emotional/entertaining smack down on the world but, alas, the advertisers won and I learned that I’m the smallest fry in this town, even with almost a decade of hard work and ‘connections’ - selling tv with heart is tough stuff! Still, my fight was not in vain, I did do some stuff which I thought helped some folks, and my most recent project I know helped some folks who really needed the help (stand by for that entry), but that international change I dreamed of is still to come… and I’ll make it happen. Give me time. But this entry is more than a rant about the power of story telling and how it can change the world. This is my return to About A Frame! Hooray! No one reads the blog anymore because I fucked off while I was swamped and living in the annals of Alaska filming bears and eagles! Yay! I survived, I got a bad ass beard now, and I’ve returned determined to change career paths… I’m selling insurance now. I keed. I’m going into the movie making business kiddies (hence the transitional tone of the entry). Come along for the hellish, underpaid ride… It’s gonna rock! Talk soon. Your pal. dramsu
