''Amazing things happen when human beings create stuff'' - Nick Conedera

Today I’m talking with Nick Conedera about the making of his film, Sharp.

Nick is a filmmaker, artist, marketer, and entrepreneur. He started making short films at age 14 and has won numerous national awards for his work.

Nick went on to major in film production at Chapman University during which he spent a summer selling Cutco Cutlery. Inspired by his experience selling knives, Nick decided to write a movie script, for which he raised $222,000 from private investors and hired 100 artists and professionals during one of the worst recessions of this generation. His film, Sharp, was just released on iTunes.

During today’s interview, Nick shares how he raised over 200k to make the movie. We also chat about collaboration, creativity, being an observer of our thoughts, and so much more.
