DISCIPLINE & IMPROVISATION...

How might one consider "Jazz" as a model for life?
What "Jazz" so beautifully offers, is this amazing musical structure that allows for emotional expression, exploration and collaboration, through the process of collective and sequential improvisation, whereby one player builds another's efforts, in an ongoing conversation.

LEAN & NIMBLE...

What's the next right move? The next right note?
And this spontaneous composition is happening in real time, whereby each player is simultaneously listening to each other while crafting their own original lines. There are no wrong notes, only forks in the road, new opportunities to follow an established thread, or take it in a totally new direction. "Jazz" is an intricate dance, it is about the agility to adapt to ever-changing circumstances.

COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES...

How might we consider taking on creative partners? Might that be you, or someone you know?
Like "Jazz", film is also a intensely collaborative art. It's not for nothing that you typically see hundreds of folks credited at the end of a movie. Although a strong and singular vision sets the stage and guides the project, many hands, many minds, many hearts must work together to bring this dream to the screen. Great art does not exist in a vacuum.  And, like the tree falling in forest, the audience is an essential part of this picture.
