How I got my proposal to Steve Jobs.
I was an unknown film-maker in Boston. I had won lot's of awards but to the world at large I had no name recognition. I want to tell you a story that changed my career. It was the day that out of the blue, using a flash of creativity, I got my film proposal read by Steve Jobs. When I got my proposal to his assistant it made it to Steve, he read it and asked me to follow up with his team. The miracle however was that I figured out the most creative way to get the proposal in his hands and started a career in networking and putting deals together. It all started with a big brown envelope.
