LUNCH WITH VILLIANS
Today, I had lunch with Michael Shamus Wiles and Robert David Hall, both pictured below. Two of the best gentlemen that I have met. Lunch with them, although I'm used to seeing them as Villians, was nothing more than exquisite and delightful.
It's always nice to talk to people who have many years of experience in the industry than me. These are the people who have made mistakes and learned from them, and this also gives me a chance to also learn from them. My father always told me to respect my elders. I admit, like every kid, I had my days of rebellion but life is definitely easier when you learn it off the mistakes of others.
That said, Robert and Mike saw some of the clips from The Gene Generation and were pleased by the progress so far. Robert said that my style had a more exotic feel to it and that I should take it and run with it. Robert is right into thinking about using your strengths to the fullest, because trust me, if I had a choice, I would rather have sperm monkies flying all over the screen. But, with what Robert said and what this guy has to say about me, I think that would be the direction of my career will be headed.
Now, I don't know if I respect Robert more or the fact I want to piss this guy off more...but either ways, I think Robert gives good advice.
