WORKING BUG

If anyone knows about being a Colin Cowie bride it's Annie. When she got married I was lucky enough to create a celebration i hoped she'd remember for years. Little did I know she would make a parody of the experience that everyone can laugh along to. Hysterical, witty, and reflective; "Road To The Altar" is great entertainment that sheds a little insight into what every bride goes through from the time the ring goes on her finger until she actually walks down the aisle.

Sit back. Relax. And enjoy.

• Make your own luck. Instead of waiting for a studio to hand over a big budget action movie, I make my own web films and take control of my future. In life, do the thing you say you want to do, and then you will be doing what you want. It's really that simple. Turn over every stone – the person who turns over the most stones win.
• Necessity is the mother of… creativity. For example, if Working Bug Media is shooting in a location and we’re running out of time, I’ll come up with a reason (that’s justified) why the rest of the scene should take place in the parking lot. In life I think it’s a good idea to turn obstacles into challenges. Use them as motivation to tap your resources. Then you will create a new solution that elevates your vision.
• Don’t be afraid to ASK – whether it’s for a location, a porta-potty, advice, or a promotion. Don’t be afraid to say thank you. And never be afraid to put yourself out there.
• Work with what is in front of you. I don’t have access to a spaceship, but I have a living room. Working Bug will shoot in a home. When I was a student, I would have loved to direct Meryl Streep, but often I had to work with novice actors. I work with what’s in front of me, not what I wish was in front of me.
• Listen to the people you are talking to. Be prepared to change your dialogue because the goal is to be understood. Actors come with various personalities and from different schools, and it is my job to break down their process and speak in their language. This is a collaborative art, and every artist is unique, from the cinematographer to the editor. Same is true in life.
