I gave up TV for one year in 2012. Instead of TV, I made some THING every week. In hindsight, it was a fecund year. (oh yeah, I used the word fecund) It was the basis for many projects including my full production of Plasticland: A Better Place. It spawned unlikely artistic collaborations, built creative confidence and I got to smash a TV with a golden sledgehammer. I haven't combed through this blog in awhile but I wanted to peruse it for inspiration.
A stranger at the bar thought he might impart his omniscience upon me yesterday. After I told him I was quitting TV for 52 weeks, he said, "You will fail."
Well, here's a little something you don't know about me, papi. The moment someone says I can't do something - I do.
So, thanks for the discouragement. And keep it coming.
