The most rewarding part of working in the entertainment industry is getting to meet progressive thinkers, creators and innovators. (And you thought I was going to say “getting all the free stuff at gifting suites during award season.” )
While the glitz and glamour of Hollywood are sometimes alluring, most of it is really nothing more than icing – sweet sexy intoxicating icing – but icing all the same.
The real scrumptious-layer-cake-of-it-all, the rich chocolate of heaven, the true gift comes with cultivating and sharing energy with people who use their influence and celebrity to educate and enlighten.
On February 4, I spent some time with the mesmerizing Native American actor Adam Beach. You may recognize him from films such as Clint Eastwood’s “Flags of Our Fathers” and HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”
Adam has an exciting online TV project in development, and I hope you will check it out and spread the word.
