Karl Lind
Founder/Creative Director
In The Can Productions, LLC.
Who are you? (We really wanna know)
A fellow carbon based life form, friend, filmmaker, storyteller, supporter of the arts and creative endeavors at large.
What do you do?
Direct, shoot and edit short films and videos for non-profit, corporate and private clientele as well as my own creative enjoyment; I love to make music videos, experimental short films + collaborate with other artists. I also enjoy curating video screenings and art events.
What is your inspiration? (Why do you create?)
Life and the perception it affords and inspires + the opportunity to help connect people through ideas and storytelling.
How do you do what you do when you do what you do?
Intuitively, thoughtfully, intentionally and with a dash of humor!
Your magic moment?
It can come to me when I am in the midst of a project that I am enjoying or when I am riding my bike a nice sunny afternoon, I try to have at least a few a day!
Walk us through your day of awesomeness
Wake up early, do a little yoga, get online write emails and reply to folks, go to the gym and get the mind and body in sync. Get back to work for awhile longer, put in some time on my personal creative projects then call it a day and then rinse, wash and repeat!
In five years, where would you like to be?
Doing what I am doing now but more of it, I think it’d be fun to work on larger creative endeavors collaboratively with more folks too.
Apart from creating things, what do you do?
I love to ride my bike and play pinball as often as possible! I also love enjoying other people’s creativity via attending concerts, art shows, performances and film/video screenings.
What advice would you give to those of the like-mind?
Keep doing it, consciously.
