Why It Pays To Be A Dreamer

One morning I dreamed up a script called The Blue Badge Blues.
That night, we were out in the Souk shooting it.
The next day, Christian was editing it.
Next day, Jamie was editing it.
That same day, Amanda watched it, loved it, and it was up on the website.
It became the most watched and commented video on the website (thanks mostly to the people who read my blog or got my ego fueled emails hahaha).
Next thing we know, it is being played on Sout Al Khaleej 100.8 FM (one of the leading Arabic radio stations in Qatar).
Then the boys are on stage playing it during the Closing Night ceremony on LIVE International television (Al Jazeera).
And today....
They completed the cycle of media.
Front page of The Gulf Times with a great photo and article inside.

From my brain, to video, to web, to radio, to tv, and finally to print.
I think I have created a star in Christian and Phil.
Love these Blue Badge Blues Boys.
