Nearly 8 years ago, I had an idea to take fragments of a narrative “movie” that I made with my friends at the age of 12, and build a new show around the story, utilizing the original footage and bringing back the kids to reprise their roles, now as adults. That show has been finished for some time now. But I didn’t have the distribution plan I needed and the old Hollywood sale model was not going to help me. So, I’m doing something completely different and putting myself out there in a way I never have.
On Friday, I will be launching GROWING UP MOVIES - a content series that basks in pop culture nostalgia and special our relationship with the things we loved gone bye. Nostalgia also is deeply connected to our inner childlike creativity. Every week, I’ll be releasing fun stuff that covers subjects like action figures, adult coloring books, sports memorabilia, childlike creative ambition, retro T-shirts, and many more. We’ll talk about how these things can help ease the everyday anxieties of our adult lives. Especially considering the past couple of years- jeez!
I will post the first video this Friday evening, with a second to follow on Sunday, for the holiday weekend. If you are interested in taking a little trip back to the 80s and 90s or reconnecting with that lost creative kid were all once were - then I invite you to join me. This sequence of videos, “visual podcasts,” and other bits of content will precede the release of the aforementioned digital series, “Growing Up Movies presents Assholes In Arbitration.”
In a way, I have spent my whole life creating this project, so it will be an honor to present you with the first videosode this Friday 7/1 around 5pm on YouTube.
Please follow GUM on social media and subscribe to the YouTube channel, all accessible through this site.
Thank you for checking this out. Stay Tuned!
❤️ Greg
