STANDING OUT as a Small Business   Sometimes the key to entrepreneurship is simply to stand out. Whether this means through your product, your team, or yourself, making an impression can determine whether your small business succeeds. Though getting mentors, investors, and funding can seem like the luck of the draw, there are actually many factors that are completely within your control.   So how can you stand out? From Moth to Flame’s point of view, we believe one way to stand out is through your multimedia presence. With the decrease in costs of technology, the increased popularity of social…

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…
