You need great work.
You need to get that work in front of people.
Get it produced. Get it shown. Reap the rewards.
Great work should not have insane overhead. Great work should not come with a 46 page binding forever and a day contract. Great work does not require 1,000 people to do it. Or 132. Or even 69. Great work can come from a very small place with just a few people with some very big ideas. In fact, it usually does.
