I’m a huge fan of the books Complaint Free World and Complaint Free Relationships by Will Bowen. Recently I was looking up quotes from thise books and I came across a bunch of great quotes about creating happiness from his book Happy This Year!: The Secret to Getting Happy Once and for All In this book Will points out “In Luke 17:21, Jesus tells us exactly where this happy place is to be found. He says, “The kingdom of God is within you.”” #Happiness #beyourownkindofbeautiful #BibleVerse #Quote #WillBowen #HappyThisYear #ComplaintFreeWorld (at Altadena) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKW5FIBj8hc/?igshid=p17dt0h0i5dz
My friend and I had a conversation about legacy the other day. I said, I want to leave a legacy. And she was wondering why that’s such a big deal to some people. I have a value of leaving places better off than I found them. I hope to do that in this world when I leave it. I think at the end of my life, that will be what makes me proud. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCZrEeDmTV/?igshid=1uuit0ku703o
This year for myself, as I’m sure for many others, I’ve had to adjust my career goals. It’s been difficult to say the least and one way I’ve continued to have a good attitude is thinking that if this is where God wants me, then who am I to complain? #KeepTrucking #IfThisIsWhatGodWants #Grit #ResistanceIsPain (at Burbank, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0mfpZj8OI/?igshid=1mi0puns72fdv
The Maria Laach monastery library
This looks like my personal Heaven. Combine this with the super power of being able to absorb a books wisdom by laying my hand on it and we’ve got a movie... Of course in 50 years we’ll probably be able to upload info into our computer-enhanced brains, haha!

How to Get Press for Your Film via Podcasts & Articles
The hosts of Just Shoot It Matt Enlow and Oren Kaplan interview the Editor in Chief of No Film School, George Edelman
What to include in a pitch to post your story on blog or on podcast for No Film School podcast
Press kit (usually NFS only gets them from studios and big pr companies):
Write the story* & pitch it with headline/Headline ideas
Google doc is useful b/c can pull it, strip it for website
Images in there less than 1 MG images, hi-res, stills, behind the scenes images (Bts images), trailer link on YT or Vimeo
*Story about making your film with interesting process or angle do well.
250 words - what tarantino said last night
How you made film 500+ words
Educational angle thats unique
Get prescriptive about what you did on your film.
Heres how I did x.
Break it down so it’s actionable and you can say oh this is how they did that and I can do that.
From someone underrepresented or diverse. It’s a different perspective, background, approach to the world, break some ground in terms of what we are seeing. Lead with that if there is a perspective.
Ideally this is in the first email you send to George. [email protected]
What Just Shoot It podcast wants in their pitches
Here’s a unique filmmaker, a voice we haven’t heard before, that matches our audience profile.
Audience Profile: The working class filmmaker
A second time or more filmmaker or someone with a real breakout movie that is mid career trajectory.
We’re gonna know how famous they are in a year or two... I love talking to people in the middle of a transition. Underrepresented or diverse.
Someone I’m curious about how they did something.
The Difference Between a TV or Movie Bible and a Pitch Deck
Most filmmakers and filmed entertainment writers are familiar with a bible. It can be something super simple like a word document with detailed descriptions of the story setting, characters, structure, synopisis, etc... And it can be a super engaging lookbook with all that stuff and tons of reference images and color schemes, etc...
A pitch deck is a much much more streamlined version and - very importantly - it also includes the business reasoning behind the pitch. Check out the example on the Lift Your World FB group. It’s about 20 slides.
However, in getting key people on board it makes sense to start with a super small deck of about five slides. Then, we can follow up with a bigger pitch deck, the bible, and the script.
Think about a showrunner, producer, or developer checking their email... You’ve got about two seconds to get their attention and five seconds to get them intrigued enough to want to dive in further. You can also use this same system for getting actors and other key players on board.
Great work on the list of shows!!! Over time I can help you gather the names and contact info for showrunners and connect with them :)
After you check out that example pitch deck, let me know what you think and if you want help on a bigger level then editing, let me know!
How-to setup email collection on your website
The most important aspect of your website is the form you use to collect email addresses. There are many reasons, suffice it to say email is still one of the best ways to get people engaged and spending money.
If you already have a website, setting up an email collection form can be easy and free. I recommend getting started with Mailchimp because it’s an industry standard, most apps have plugins for Mailchimp, and it’s free up to 2000 users.
Here are the directions for adding an email collection form to your website using Mailchimp:

Grow Your Social Media Audiences
The best way to build your audience on any platform is to make great content consistently that speaks to an audience. Ideally, you choose some niche audiences to focus on and engage them directly.
You also act like a good community member. Some ways to engage in a community are to like and share other people’s stuff. Find people you want to associate with and support them. And finally, most platforms are pay-to-play, so promoting posts, getting influencers to point to your stuff, and getting social proof by buying likes, views, etc… are all helpful.

Over and above the general principles for building your audience, here are a few apps I’ve used and like...
Tweepi
Tweepi allows you to select hashtags and Twitter users with the audience you want to follow you. The Tweepi app uses AI to recommend users you should follow and allows you to put them on a pricate list. You then manually go and follow the users on the list. Then, Tweepi allows you to clear your list.
The free version allows you too follow 75 people a day. I’ve found if I do this consistently, I get about 50 followers/week for free.
Owlead
Uses bots - deals available $69 for life
~100 followers/week
TweSocial.com
Allegedly does advertising for you.
$15/week = $60/mo

As hard as life can be, I can always find gratitude. I feel like I’ve been getting knocked down since 2012. However, I’ve also had lots of support and been lifted up quite a bit in that same time period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I find myself worrying or getting anxious, one thing I do is use the positive psychology principle of writing out specific things I’m grateful for. I created a one sheet gratitude journal that looks like a sun... You can watch the video on our Lift Your World YouTube channel. In the video description, there’s also a link so you can download your own sun rays gratitude journal pages :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #GratitudeJournal #IAmGrateful #MentalHealthMatters #Affirmations https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7DYC-D-5B/?igshid=8kxzs4ut5cfb
My wise and thoughtful friend asked this great question and I want to keep the conversation going :)
Here’s how I responded...
Like most things, I think this is about balance and the stories we tell ourselves.
I prescribe to the abundance mentality and I also act as a steward of my planet knowing that the world has limited resources.
I believe the abundance mentality has helped me live a more fulfilling life- especially with regard to relationships. When you tell yourself the story that there are not enough resources for everyone (similar to the concept that there’s only one pie that everyone takes slices out of) then you put yourself in competition with everyone. If you win they lose and vice versa. But having an abundance mentality allows me to partner with everyone.
At the same time, organizations, communities, individuals, and the world has limited resources. That’s why it’s so important to create sustainable - or even better permaculture - systems. Systems that do not require constant feeding and that can flourish as a cycle.

Guide and Questions To Help You Write a Great Bio
If you’re a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, influencer, speaker, artist, or some combination you’ll want a strong bio.
You can start with one paragraph if you’re just starting out. It may be three to five paragraphs if you’ve got lots of experience.
It should be in the third person so event coordinators, journalists, etc... can copy and paste to useful places.
