I spent a huge chunk of my life attempting to be a successful musician. In recent years, that focus has shifted to film, and I am grateful Moth to Flame has given me the opportunity to blend my passions. I hope to consistently produce music based video projects for MTF and build our recognition throughout the vast Austin music community. The latest and greatest effort in this endeavor came last Thursday when I spent a day in studio with Wild Child, a personal favorite of mine amongst local bands, while they worked on their upcoming album, The Runaround. As if…

There are countless times when I release a piece of work and I cannot help but wonder whether I am the only one who appreciates or cares to watch it. I joke a lot with my friends that I am probably the only person in a dark room by myself laughing at the jokes on screen or editing miniscule details that only I can see. What if no one ever watches what I make, or what if only 50 people do? In the end, I say, “So what?” For me, filming is a privilege.   The audience has no idea…

2012 has been a rollercoaster – a mix of intense growth and extreme lows. If I had to summarize the entire experience in one word, it would have to be “challenging.” I graduated this year from business school and took a leap of faith to not pursue a corporate job, but instead to follow my dream of building Moth to Flame. With school debt and a growing business, it has been an interesting learning experience, but I can proudly say that I survived. I more than survived actually. For the first time in my life, I focused 110% and sustained…

Make sure to read blog 1 so this blog makes more sense…   So how do you go about doing something you have never done before? The only film classes I had taken at this point were the two classes in undergrad. Was I really ready to take the leap and pursue filmmaking as my full-time career or was this just a quarter life crisis of some sort?   Test Yourself In my experience, the best way to answer such questions is to put yourself through a series of tests. My first test was to make a film. Considering that…

They say there is always a pivotal moment when you decide to make a big career change or to pursue something that seems to go against the norm or at least what everyone else thinks is the norm. That pivotal moment for me came when I stepped onto my first 48-hour film festival event in 2008 (Frieda Gilroy was the name of the film).   Let’s rewind a little. I was an IT consultant in Houston at the time, having graduated from Rice University undergrad in 2007 and was terribly lost. I had money for the first time, got my…

When starting off with any new idea or venture, one feels a mixture of emotions, both excitement and fear. Both of these emotions can drive us closer or further away from our goals. Too much excitement and we forget to slow down and build a strong foundation for our dreams. Too much fear and we tend to doubt our own abilities.   People often ask me what it takes to start a company like Moth to Flame. My answer is always, I have no clue, I just did it. Sometimes we must learn to accept that the future does not…
