David’s Approach
Supporting the Individual Creative Process + Maximizing Profitability
Hollywood, like life, is "the game that moves as you play."Â
Its product is external and appears on screens and billboards everywhere, but its process is internal. Writing, producing, acting, financing, editing… so much of the creative work is birthed within the individual.
As we mature into conscious creators and leaders, the world evolves even faster. Our greatest challenge and greatest thrill can be to realize that while we can't control the outside world, we can learn to better control our actions, and our ability to navigate the internal creative process that brings our vision to the light of day.Â
Our work is learning to be aware of all that happens "below the surface" of our consciousness.Â
That’s the inner game of Hollywood: Learning to find our heading, plan, strategize, communicate our truth, and how to balance that with spontaneity, flexibility, improvisation and a high tolerance for anarchy, agony and ecstasy.Â
