James Balog Lecture Statement

Words of Wisdom:

Don't be a mouth organ for paid communication. Bring REAL storytelling back into the world. Art grows out of the fabric of the moment. All you can do is the best you're capable of in the moment. If you're doing the right thing, the answer will come. Don't be driven by financial security. Be driven by passion. The thing you would do for free is usually the thing that will do the most for you. (not necessarily money). The world needs passionate people. Lightning bolt ideas are like eagles that carry you off, don't fight it, go with it and let it take you where it will. Own your creative output.
