This meet up has been created for one reason; Connectivity. I'm seeking out media creatives in Dallas to discuss starting a small media company. This is a vision of mine first brought on by needing to find new clients, then by seeing and working with a number of successful dallas production companies, as I envision this one to be, created simply from a group of creative thinkers who were willing to take a risk to live their dreams. We can do this too. So I'm calling all directors, writers, anima …
