Taylor Lewis is just one of three brothers who have an equal part in running Atomic City, a full-service production company who have had the opportunity to have great clients such as Amazon. In this episode, Taylor shares with us how they took the initiative to create spec work and in doing so were able to develop a great relationship that led to them being able to direct a multi-million dollar project with Amazon. Jeff Bezos himself was complimenting and also requesting Atomic City on their next project. They've been able to achieve this feat simply by taking great initiative and creating work when there was no work to create simply to impress a potential client.

Editing is a time-consuming process. Making small cuts, going through the menu for another action to take place on your timeline. It's definitely a tedious task. If you follow me on social media, you know I love my editorskeys keyboard. My keyboard has been a godsend for my editing efficiency and speed. I asked Mark Brown, the CEO of Editorskeys to join me on this episode to talk more about his product because who better to describe it then him. This is not a paid episode. I simply wanted to share with you all what has absolutely helped me in my post production workflow.
Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a fun giveaway featuring Editorskeys products.
