One year ago today my wife and I arrived in Nashville. Here’s the short of it.

In the past 12 months I have had the blessing of working across the US, shot in Ethiopia, developed content for STORY, shot a concert, directed 5 music vids, started my brand igoby.tk, wrote some great future commercials (really pumped about these), lived a week on the 3EB tour bus with SJ, personally pitched a concept of mine to University of Kentucky’s athletic director & coach Cal. They flipped for it, which got me a private meeting with Worldwide Wes, Gee Roberson and Drake. All packed into a small greenroom under Rupp Arena, with Wes standing, Drake, Gee and I sharing seats on a table,  I shared with them my idea with the aid of keynote, a remote and speakers (f.y.i. within the pitch is a song i wrote and rapped… (kinda funny)). Every pitch went amazing… In fact, Wes interrupted me only to ask “are you an agent?… cuz you need to be.” Needless to say I was flattered. Two months later, that project inevitably fell through due to… reasons I probably shouldn’t post because of the minion spys watching… I wish I were kidding.

More recently, I signed with revolution pictures as a new director. Such a great group of people and I’m really excited about what is on the horizon with them. Lastly, as of February, I have moved in with 821 Entertainment. Eric has generously given me an office to do…, whatever it is I do, out of (images coming soon). Now, I don’t work for 821, maybe someday. But for now, I am focusing on directing and staying creative with music vids and commercial spots.

Its been a good year. All glory to God.

This week I am color grading a recent shoot in Orlando with a reggae artist while writing a treatment for my next vid with Ben Rector.

I also want to announce that I am starting a test shot series here on my blog. Im going to post weekly experimental short videos that will be a journy into some different styles of film and aesthetics. Really excited about this. I am going to need some models, both male and female… hint hint.

“WHO IS WORLD WIDE WES?”….
