Looking back on The Sprinter today, I still feel very proud. It was a pure expression and born from the DIY music culture that we loved so dearly. It was something that we didn’t understand but that we felt compelled to do, and I love that feeling. We did it for us, for the love of expression, for our very own amusement with no regard for the conclusion. And my life has been better because of it.

After completing The Sprinter I felt inspired and empowered to learn about and experiment with many forms of artful expression. I also found greater delight in experimenting with old formats and processes. As a whole, It reinforced my love of creating and communicating, regardless of the medium, and inspired me to progress as a creative generalist.

Once we finished The Sprinter Justin and I saw no reason to stop there and we have collaborated on projects together ever since. The only question that remains is when Justin and I will do another film together. I don’t have an answer to that, but I feel pretty confident that it will happen.
