Small gestures mean a lot
A generic statue of a small naked man, not to be mistaken for an “Oscar,” arrived in my PO Box yesterday!
I was one of the voices on a new documentary (“JFK: The Last Speech”) that premiered at the JFK Library in early May. One of the people interviewed in the film has a trophy company and went through the credits creating these little guys for all of the creatives on the team.
It was a complete surprise and totally made my day.
While not without cost, I am sure, this small gesture on the part of someone who had the means, will cement the project in my mind forever.
We hear it a lot – do something kind, no matter how small, and it will have a positive impact on many, including you.
Look for the doc (produced by Northern Light Productions) on select public television […]
Here’s a riddle. What is it?
MCA-I (and before the name change – ITVA) has been one of my tribes for a very long time. I was working full-time at General Dynamics in the film and video department when my boss, Scott Crist, told me I should join. So, I did. And through the years, I was active on the local board in pretty much every position, including several years acting as chapter coordinator until a new crop of leaders took over. At that point, I moved to the national board and again did nearly all of the positions, including President of the association.
Here in Southern California I still have my ISDN lines at a reasonable cost and regular clients who use them. However, the same cannot be said for talent in other parts of the county. Monthly rates have skyrocketed to as much as $700 (or more!). And in some parts of the US, you can’t even get new lines if you wanted them a whatever cost you might be willing to pay.
