Last Friday night I saw the premiere of the film director Tom Shadyac’s new documentary called I Am. The film opens nationwide in February so be on the lookout for it. I’d recommend it if you are curious at all about what you think it might take for the economies of the world to change. Shadyac was the producer of movies including Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura Private Detective, Nutty Professor and Patch Adams. I found the movie uplifting, as though I had attended a cell revivial. It reminded that it takes a whole lotta little things for big things to happen. Every little act counts, including just saying hello.
Integrity According to Tom Shadyac
Tom Shadyac (director of movies including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Nutty Professor and Bruce Almighty) teaches a film class at Pepperdine University. He says he has his students answer three questions:
1) what do you love to do?
2) what do you want to do for your career / occuption?
3) what’s the theme of your life?
And he goes on to say “Those three things should line up – that’s what we call integrity.”
