I feel like, "First time caller long time listener" pretty much sums it all up for me. I'm a first time filmmaker who reinvented myself while creating a documentary about other people who have done the same: reinvented themselves as creative entrepreneurs. Before this film, I was a fairly successful life coach who home-schooled her teenage son while simultaneously parenting two preschoolers. In other words, I had a very busy life and really had no business even thinking about making a film, but I was so passionate about the themes of my film, there was just no way I could NOT make it. I learned so much in the process of making this movie, about technology, the creative process, human nature, social behavior, and myself - now I'm on a mission to share my findings with the world, which is why I’m producing the documentary you find here on Kickstarter, Life In Perpetual Beta.
