Nice to see that someone gets it. Loved the knives, some really good quality work there.

I don't think it's undoable. I don't believe that it's something that some people "gets to do". It's more like somewhere you need to understand how to burst yourself in and through. It's a very tough place with mostly crazy egomaniacs who runs the show. If you don't have the resources, good friends and a lot of knowledge, people will run you over. In no country the film industry is somewhere I would want to work for others. But if you can start from a point where you are independent, in charge and where other people are dependent on you, well, then the situation is different.
It's supposedly the age of creativity coming along. The "robots" can replace us more left-brained analytical people.
Might be some truth to it. The problem today as I see it is that there's so much information out there. It's extremely hard to make any kind of business when nobody even notice that you're there. Think about all of the self-publishing authors. There are so many thousands and thousands of books on Amazon. You can do everything yourself these days and many people try. But it's tough. It's the creative people who find ways to stand out from the crowd and make noise that people take notice of.
