Let’s At Least Give Them 60 Minutes To Prove Themselves?
My creative friends do tend to get their danders up whenever I’m guilty of passing judgement on something before I’ve seen even a snippet of production. I’ve been guilty of reacting prematurely to press releases, sizzle reels and proofs of concept that to me came off as overly aspirational and/or filled with more than the
The Newest Admiral Of The Nebraska Navy?
Jed Rosenzweig appears to be a throwback among and a current rarity among journos that cover media.
