Show Reel 2025
When it comes to the art of active self-promotion, we are very possibly the worst. Consider on one hand, you’ve got creative juices pumping like Niagara, on the other you’ve got a project pipeline that never stops (it’s how we like it okay?) and both feet fully charged with ecstatic electricity, just keeping up with all the ways your amazing clients and partners are adding to the world. Before you know it, your prized reel is caked in dust bunnies, out of sight and mind; lying in wait for the right time to sneak up with a jump scare from last decade. You see, as the work ever evolves (as it must), any prospect of anthology can quite naturally tend toward infinite fence-sitting. Because at some point, all will have been brought together, yet alas, in that very moment, it’s already outta date!
I’d be willing to consider the possibility that I’m being a bit dramatic, but there is a genuine kernel of truth here… as a wise Kurt Vonnegut once penned;
“Time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening all at once.”
– Kurt V…. wait a minute.
Now, I’d have bet the whole pot that the quote above not only originated with Kurt Vonnegut, but also that he rendered it far more stylishly.
Apparently, the actual quote comes from an early 20th century weekly collection of short stories, which reads:
“How would you describe time?”
The Big Business Man smiled. “Time,” he said, “is what keeps everything from happening at once.”
“Very clever,” laughed the Chemist.– Ray Cummings (The Girl in the Golden Atom, 1919)
Turns out, the quote has a history of misattribution, apparently first to Mark Twain, then Albert Einstein, John Archibald Wheeler, Susan Sontag, and so it goes with a handful of others. God bless you, internet; first, for that grand addition to my head-canon of Kurt Vonnegut’s brilliant deadpan, but also for taking it back just now, some twenty years later.
Now that I’ve gotten all of that out of the way, here’s a quick rundown on everything there is to see in our admittedly-not-absolutely-up-to-the-minute-freshest, but still the most-new-of-what-we-can-share-with-you reel:
Thanks for taking the time to check it out! We’ll be sure to try and keep the dust off of this one.

Ha! The 'notes' panel is not working on this page, so I'll make one here. Even though I made a comment, the "# of comments" still reads 0. Also, apparently when you make a note it has to be approved first to reply to it.

Dang! That was sick! But also checking to see if the comment section works.
