Be the Pikes Peak of Filmmaking
In addition to the networking, ICVM is a great festival because there’s always a fun outing planned. Designed to foster networking and deepening of relationships, the outings have included baseball games, trips to national parks, and golf games. (Well, if you’re Brad Mix’s friend, that is!)
This week we took the cog railway up to Pikes peak. It is #34 of the 50 peaks over 14,000 feet in Colorado. (The tallest is Mt. Elbert – not quite as catchy a name) On our return trip Mark asked our conductor why Pikes Peak was so famous if it’s not the tallest mountain in Colorado. Are you ready for the answer?
Pikes Peak stands out in the landscape. It is the tallest mountain in its group, unlike the other 14,000+ feet peaks. They’re all clustered together, so rather than seeing the vastness of the surrounding land, you just see other mountain peaks.
Pikes Peak rises up majestically out of its cluster of mountains, and pioneers coming west used it as a landmark. When you see Pikes Peak, you know what you’re looking at – there is no doubt what it is.
What if you could be the Pikes Peak of filmmaking? What if the art you created was so majestic and awe-inspiring that everyone took notice of it?
What are you doing today that sets you apart from the crowd? It’s not a competition mindset, but one that says “By the grace of God, I’m determined to create something that will capture people’s attention and point to His glory.”
