Dear Sheila,
I hope this Twitter message finds you well.
I’m writing to you with the hope that one day I’ll get the chance to work with you. Why is that so important to me all of a sudden? Because I read the interview you gave at DOC NYC, and I was so f*** inspired by you. I’m a Creative Director who moved from Tel Aviv to NYC 4.5 years ago. I worked with YouNow (a Live Social Platform with +40M users - we did some great things with MTV, cool stuff in the link below), and after the company shrunk, the way startups sometimes do, I was struggling to find a great new job. Why is that?
I’m 39 and I don’t dye my hair.
I talk straight to the point. As you probably noticed.and am easily excited (Good for Israel, not at all for NYC).
I’m easily excited. Not an inch of phasada in me.
ThatThat skill makes me really good at getting interviews at great places, but not soas good at excelling in themwith follow through.
Therefore in the past year, instead of deasperingdisappearing, I went backreturned to what I love doing most - writing. I published a children’s book in Israel (now sold on Israel’s 2 biggest book chains), finished a feature-film script that is on a roadshowcurrently searching for a production company, and am now developing 2 TV shows for HOT (Israel’s biggest cable company). One is a comedy based on military service in the West Bank as a horneyhorny soldier, the other is a suspenseful drama.
I’m sharing this with you hoping you’ll find me worthy of a meeting.
I love your work, I’m inspired by your journey, I’m excited for your next venture.
Here’s my LinkedIn:
All the best and more,
Adi
That
