ROUND 1
Life 1-0

This video is an envisioning of “what I’m afraid of.”

For the past couple of months I’ve been tracking filmmakers online. If I like what I see, I cold call them, introduce myself, and try to start a dialogue. I think that’s what they call a hard sell in business. Don’t quote me on that. And correct me if I’m wrong. 

These calls have been incredibly nerve racking. I keep asking myself, What am I so afraid of? What’s the worst that could happen? Is it my pride? The answer is yes. I’m terrified of losing my dignity. 

I recently started filming these calls to capture the drama. So far, I’ve filmed two calls which I will release shortly. In the meantime, watch me take the hit for all the nervous actors with egos to protect. 

Thanks to Emily Grace, my business coach, for giving me the idea of tracking and calling filmmakers and eventually filming those calls, and to Eric Feldman for being a d*ck on command. 

One qualification: No time or effort whatsoever was put into the production quality of this video. Oh, I lied. I turned on two lights! 

One note: In calls to filmmakers who don’t know they’re being filmed, I edit out names and distort voices if necessary.
