Hold On To Your Dreams

Dreams on dreams: silly dreams, old dreams, new dreams, dreams that make me shy, dreams that are in touching distance, dreams that touch the edges of every insecurity I have and dreams that feel like returning home.

My love of dreams have a very simple explanation. At one point they were all I had. Ten years of false starts, empty promises, meetings that went nowhere, rejections and returning bouts of depression. Dreams kept me going through it all.

As I write this post, I’m sitting in the clouds flying to San Francisco dreaming of the next stage of the business, which is currently covering me and a team out there to interview one of my personal idols for the Dream Chaser podcast. He is a self made billionaire, a part owner of the Golden State Warriors and one of the real life characters the film The Big Short is based on.

After four years of visualising this exact moment, we got the paperwork signed and today we are interviewing him for the Dream Chaser podcast. So with nerves, excitement and total conviction I can safely say, “Hold on to your dreams.” You really never know where they will take you. Keep dreaming, keep chasing. Hope and hustle my friends. You got this.

Inspiring New Developments

New week, same dreams. Very inspired by our new work with Rory McGuire and Nikki Lilly. It’s time to double down and commit to telling stories and sharing ideas that will help, connect, entertain and inspire anyone with an old or new dream.

Podcast equipment has been purchased this week, studio sets are being built for the Dream Chaser news, updates and reviews channels and meetings with new app developers are happening. Here’s to letting go of fantasies and chasing dreams. Let’s get it.

Our New Studio

Picking up the keys to our new office/studio with my spiritual advisor/prayer warrior/the best rice, peas and chicken provider and the sounding board to every good and bad idea that floats through my head and heart. Here’s to chasing dreams and celebrating those who shaped, guided and believed when nobody else did. Now let’s go get those Oscar/BAFTA outfits.

Playing at the Palais in Cannes

Chasing dreams and capturing stories. We watched a film with our logo produce laughter, tears and a loud applause to a full audience in the Palais in Cannes, while working with a team who just hustle, laugh, challenge and support. We’re grateful, but still buzzing and hungrier for more. Not yet where we wanna be, but enjoying the ride.

Insights from our Interview with Ruby Wax

Over the past couple years, we’ve made a number films for celebrities and institutions affiliated with the mindfulness movement. A lot of these projects are not ones we can share. However, we can share the latest film we did for Ruby Wax, which discusses her Frazzled Cafe initiative.

There were many ruined takes due to laughter behind the camera; however, we managed to capture good insights and ideas, which we think you’ll enjoy.

Our Stories

My first dream job as a child was to be an actor; what I lacked in talent I made up for in enthusiasm. I even got some TV parts: I played a footballer on a Saturday morning sketch on the show ‘Going Live’. I got a part of a young prince in the play ‘Thyestes’ and was at the Royal Court Theatre at age 11 for a month. I really thought it was gonna happen. Read more

Goldie Hawn

The Boy Who Calmed Down

It’s been a tough yet inspiring few weeks. Between meetings for the app, the profile films, the short film for Goldie Hawn and the actual day job, we’re a little stretched over here.

However, that’s boring, let me tell you an interesting story from this shoot. We meet this kid during the shoot who has a smile that is a perfect mix of curiosity, hope and uncertainty. The kind that if unchanneled will label him as mischievous and trouble, yet if channeled, he will most likely be labeled as a genius.
