Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.

Ray Bradbury (passed away the day before yesterday; August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012), American fantasy, horror, science fiction, and mystery writer, best known for his works, like inter alia Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.

INFLUENCERS - Short documentary on branding

INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.

Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today’s pop culture.

“INFLUENCERS” belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

Shortlisted work of the Hungarian Café Creative at Golden Drum 2011. Must-see for agencies…and most importantly for clients.
