In 2018, I was lucky enough to be nominated for an Academy Award. Today, I reflect on that accomplishment, especially so early in my career, and the lessons I took from that experience.
Spoiler alert: NBD, keep working. ;)

Watched Heroin(e)....it is a tragic story that is beautifully told....

@CurrenSheldon 3 ай бұрын

I appreciate you watching. And yes, a tragic story that continues on to this day - but the women from the film, and so many others, continue the day to day work of helping those in need.

I agree with you. I want to also add that awards are a means of trust-building and not medals of personal achievement. Winning an award does build trust through the perceived boost of value in others' minds. Awards are tools to leverage future opportunities through trust. Cheers to storytelling beyond the shine of accolades. 🏆

Very solid points all around. Thanks for watching!

Agree that ASC Award is more impressive than an Oscar; being validated by fellow nerds is the best. Oscars always feel like a popularity contest. BTW, Heroin(e) was so good, watched it before I ever knew who you were -- and will now watch King Coal, as the images I've seen from that are jaw-dropping.

Aw thanks so much. That means a lot and glad you enjoyed the video. KING COAL should be on VOD in the next couple of months and then broadcasted here in the States on POV/PBS in June/July. I'm sure I'll do a series of videos on the film when it is released.

Congratulations on the nom! No biggie but it’s the “ultimate” prize. Penultimate is next-to-last.

Can you make a video on how you sold/distributed your film to netflix? I have so many questions...what did you do to get on Netflix radar? What all goes into a distribution deal with Netflix? All the deets? It feels like you just scratched the surface. :)

I have this very video half-written, so will hopefully have it up in the next month or two!
