074: Seth Hymes: From Homeless Film School Graduate to Making his First Feature Film


Listen Later

Seth Hymes is an entrepreneur, author, and most recently a co-producer and co-writer of the feature film, Wally Got Wasted.  He talks about what it was like growing up with an autoimmune disorder since he was seven and how he later was a disappointed film school graduate, disenchanted by how challenging it was to get a job in the film industry after graduation. He even ended up homeless for a short while, sleeping in his car. But then he had a couple of pivotal moments, including what he calls a metaphysical experience, that changed his outlook on life. In hindsight, he discovered the journey to his dream of becoming a filmmaker was a zig-zag instead of a straight line. And then who knew that his unrelated work experiences were going to eventually pay off when it came to helping finance and market his project. Seth says it took 20 years to realize his dream and now encourages others to never give too.
