Two things have proven to be consistent recently. One is the Facebook event invite system. As I stated in the post for this event (M.O.C.I.T.I - Men of Color In the Industry) I've recently started to take those invites seriously. They have proven to be very effective. Then there's William Sturtevant, our relationship has been growing by keeping each other updated all the time. Each time we connect there is a revelation of commonalities between us. At the Artists Palooza
event below, we shared a moment of epiphany. After the screening of a film, a filmmaker said it can take 2-3 years before you can build your team. Immediately after that statement William and I looked at each other, nodded heads and smiled.
In a conversation the Sunday before (3rd Annual Red Carpet Oscar After-Party), I complimented one of William's videos on the home page of his website. Curious about how he pulled it off, he shared with me that he had a team in New York that collaborated on it. The team that he desires in LA hasn't formed yet because he says, "LA people are flaky." Sentiments I totally agreed with.

It appears when I'm hanging with William the night ends up as an adventure. After the film mixer we spent sometime looking for another event on Facebook and we ended up at the Rolling Stone Lounge and Bar off of Hollywood & Highland.

Final Thoughts
The night was adventure indeed for William & I. We almost got into the Destenee event for free but too many people kept garnering our attention. We kept missing the hook up and we it was our time, it was too late. I believe William and I are in the process of making a strong statement in this industry. As we continue to learn about each other and recognize we are very like minded, I'm bringing to visualize the possibly of a building that team we both desire. Once had a strong team in Tampa, FL just as William had a team in New York. We're both rebuilding on the west side. One networking event at a time.
As the quest continues...
