![]() cook or be cooked out here | Day Stopped Counting of the grind - the path is clear, the motivation dwindles, but the vision is strong. I’ve been having a great time lately locked in with the same group of people working on the same industry, with the same attention to detail as I do. It’s incredible, yet scary to see all the new possibilities that are now available with models like Veo-3, that can create Hollywood-grade movies. On the other hand. The team over at 555 is doing some amazing stuff, and super excited as to what’s coming. On the events-side, friends are cooking up some more outdoor events that you can expect, so stay tuned! |
Thank you for all your support!
Love,
Simon
