My MFA buddy @lawsonisawesome has been planning to shoot a documentary on the residents of the Salton Sea this summer. And while there’s never a good time to get your car stolen, the months leading up to an ambitious and expensive project is a REALLY crummy time to get your car stolen.

I’ve had my own creative endeavors get impeded by the intervention of a shitty universe more times than I can count (see: my 2001 senior thesis film delayed for six months because my original shoot date was 9/11, my first pitch for professional comics being stolen by a Marvel editor I went to college with, etc). So when I see someone throwing a middle finger at the uncaring abyss and deciding to make their art anyway, I feel it in my chest.

Said another way: if you’ve got some extra scratch this payday, maybe throw it this way.
