Gary Hustwit Highlight
There's a momentum in actually starting a project and doing it. Just do it. The moment you say, 'I'm doing it,' it opens up so many possibilities.
About Gary
- When he was in college, he put on a concert for fun and it ended up being a lucrative 400-person event.
- Says the punk rock mentality has carried over from his band days-punk was a group of people coming together for one common interest.
- He's a self-proclaimed "design geek."
- Looked around for a film on his interests-graphic design, fonts-and found nothing.
- Realized that there must be other people out there looking for the same thing; decided to make the film himself.
- Stresses the importance of making the switch from "I'm thinking about doing this," to "I'm doing this."
- Says everything around us is "design" and everything has people, stories, and history behind it.
- Everything comes together little by little-if you constantly take small, incremental steps to improve your life, they'll add up.
