Old School New School

A new documentary titled Old School New School caught my attention, so I watched it. You should too. Filmmaker Stephen Fischer searches for answers to the question:

How can someone realize his or her full creative potential?

He interviews some of today's enlightening artists. Questions to ponder:

How do the decisions we make define us and help us grow as creative people?

How do you grow if you don't take the creative risk?

Instinctively, are we right most of the time?

Should we sacrifice security for a 'singleness of purpose?'

It seems to work for some people. Listen to what Kevin Spacey did (or didn't do) trying to make it as an actor. There will always be the 'security versus risk' debate. What are your thoughts about living up to your creative potential? Did this documentary inspire you to think any differently?
