Feast Studios is a full service production company and creative agency
The first time I read Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, it was assigned reading on a study abroad trip to Paris in 2004 through my journalism school. I quickly became enchanted with the idea of him writing in cafes around Jardin de Luxembourg with Gertrude Stein in the 1920s. I fancied myself in the same time of my life trying to emulate a similar life.
But then I read chapter eight and my life was changed forever becoming inspiration for what is now Feast Studios.
"Hunger was Good discipline" Hemingway wrote.
He was poor as a young man and often was hungry. But this hunger was transmuted into an eagerness to create. In the chapter, he found himself at the foot of creative genius Cezanne.
Hemingway believed on an empty stomach, his mind was clear, and he could better understand motivations of artists. He felt Cézanne had the same hunger when he painted, which he channeled into his work, as did Hemingway..
Walking humbly in Hemingway's footsteps, I too found my Cezanne. I realized I was an artist, that I had a gift of creativity in the form of telling stories, video stories.
I went on to win an award for best news story in my graduating class, and the first graduate with a job as a television news reporter in 2005. The rest is my history of creativity in the medium of video.
Being in broadcast news, to launching my own production company, just shy of 20 years since journalism school, I've learned much about storytelling, about how to always bring the story back to the beginning in the end, the arch of a story and how to layer and weave information under the backdrop of an overarching theme. I've learned how to nurture and refine story in a frame of space and time. I'm here to help you extract and unravel the most compelling content to capture the essence of a person, a place, a project, a moment in time, in a way that moves an audience, and captures the attention of someone who, through your story, understands how your message or vision relates to their world and themselves.
That's the Feast!"
