Good Evening my people!! My lovely, lovely internet people.
Do you know how fantastic it feels to be writing again? To be blogging once more? Let me tell you, it feels amazing!
Over the past few years, I’ve tried to start several new websites and blogs to keep up with my writing and wordcrafting; unfortunately, they just haven’t been cutting the mustard. Whether it was discussing geeky news and new internet superstars or following the backyard filming of The Watchmen, every topic that was started seemed incredibly uninspiring after several posts.
After much soul searching, I found a topic that I can easily talk about.
A topic that can be very interesting and one that I am extremely passionate about:
…Me!!!!!!
(Oh come on, you had to see that coming!)
Well where are my manners?? An introduction of sorts seems at hand: my name is Gavin Thompson and it is a pleasure to meet you! I’m a 26 year old male living in the heart of Vancouver, loving life and looking for a new creative outlet. As it stands, I spent several years fighting my way into the Film & Television industry, absolutely convinced I wanted to produce feature films. After much introspection and re-evaluating my priorities I’m now comfortably on the outskirts of the industry and spend my days talking to Agents, Casting Directors and Actors. My ventures have been amazing and have taken me all over the globe. I’ve been on sets, I’ve worked in a Talent Agency, I’ve been to the Cannes Film Festival and I’ve even pitched scripts in Los Angeles. The irony is that the sum of all of my experiences in this industry have opened my eyes to so many other great avenues and opportunities that for the first time in many years, I find myself looking at the world with a new sense wonder.
So what am I going to talk about here at Awesome Thompson Dot Com? I have no idea yet! Anything that comes to mind:
My love of creativity and the power of ideas? Sure!
Cartoon Heroes from my favourite cartoons of the 80’s? Of course!
Wordsmithing and how to effectively combine words? Oh, most definitely (mostefinitely)!
And, of course, all other manners of awesomeness!
Love & respect and thanks for joining me on the crazy ride!
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
