"You cannot base a whole movie on imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters."
- John Lasseter
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. Because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."
- Martha Graham
"Only a mediocre person is always at their best."

 Producer/Writer - Bert Simonis
Bert told his first visual story chronicling a family vacation using his dad's Bell & Howell Super 8 camera. In high school his Audio/Visual class made an instructional student film and laid the groundwork for the classic Milpitas Monster movie. While working for United Airlines he wrote and directed an industrial training video and was thrilled to be behind the pilot during a rare in-cockpit shot of a DC-8 takeoff.
He joined forces with This 'n That Films in 2011 to market The Last First Comic. Since that effort, he's enjoyed the collaborative effort of producing Mid-Century Moderns, Quiet Elegance, 88 Days in the Mother Lode and The Neon Struggle. As a story teller, researcher and published author of murder mysteries, he's a big believer in John Lasseter's quote at the top of this page - it's all about the story.
