All it takes

So we were in touch with Sean a few years ago, when we saw this short he made. Workshop went quiet, we gathered around TP’s desk and just watched – wicked!

Dude’s, quit wishing you need time off, or that you need a vacation, stop thinking about things far away. You ever seen all the amazing places a 5 year old and there mates can go on a daily basis? They can go to the moon, be a ninja turtle, kick faster than Bruse Lee, drive [...]
