The following is a journal entry written by Mike Roach in the fall of 2005:
Tonight, in Media Management we had to pick our groups. People wrote the names of industries they wanted to research on the board and their names underneath. I sat there, immobile, for a moment or two. Then I popped up and wrote myself under "Film".
I went over to the film group and said, "I bring nothing to the table."
Then it was on. The only dude in the group, Steve Sims, said he knew me from Philosophy class (he sits behind me somewhere.) He started talking about film. He's a free-lance videographer. He remembered the things I'd said in Philosophy and knew I was into film and that I was from Indiana and had moved to L.A.
We talked quite a bit, and when it was time to leave, he waited for me at the door. As we walked down the steps, he said that he wanted to do a movie and invited me to collaborate.
Holy shit! Did it happen? Yeah.
