It has been too long and I apologize. Here are two updates about my life.

Farewell Tour was accepted to participate in Film Independent's Fast Track film finance market. Fast Track took place three weeks ago and involved conducting 60 pitch meetings over the course of a three day period during the Los Angeles film Festival. I am not quite sure how I am still alive after that, but here I stand, well sit.

Also, I did an Interview for Film Independent's Consumed blog series. I talk about Childish Gambino and Jon Favreau,  the speechwriter not the director.
