Three Ways To Live With Abandon
Here’s something you might not know about Abandon Films.
We started our company during a recession. We moved in with each other and worked out of a basement for three years. We worked on projects that got us nowhere but back where we started. We made a lot of mistakes (cue the Sufjan Stevens song… “I don’t mind, I don’t mind.”).
We really don’t mind. Because living with abandon is the only way to live. If you never risk anything, you never learn anything. That is why we are called Abandon Films. Because we believe it.
It’s time to take another risk…
Today we are launching our new website and announcing the production of a new short film.
More than that, we are committing to publishing weekly blog content and producing a lineup of short films throughout the winter and spring.
