The more I think about, the more I’m seriously considering taking Bloodclot Films live.
I think we need to do a live performance—a 2 man show, so to speak.
Here’s my only concern: I’m not sure the world is ready to sit down and breathe in Bloodclot Films’ live show. You see, the energy that we produce as a duo is truly heart-stopping. We’ve been told by people, many times, that when they converse with us individually, it’s an awesomely underwhelming experience, but when they converse with the two of us simultaneously, they feel like they’re on a high, never wanting the bliss to cease, which would ultimately bring them back down to Earth.
Stephen and I bounce off each other, mentally and emotionally.
Grab a pen (a Pilot Metropolitan, if you have) and some paper.
Draw a zig-zag line.
Now, draw an identical zig-zag line next to it, which turns at identical locations and expands over an equal distance.
How satisfying does that look? Pretty aesthetically appealing, no?
Now, imagine those lines as a conversation. That’s what the discussions are like between Stephen and me. One pushes, the other gives. One loosens up, the other yanks the slack. We’re so symbiotic, we almost act as a hive mind.
They say that conjoined twins who are separated tend to feel each other’s emotions even after the separation. Science cannot explain this phenomenon, yet it most certainly acknowledges its existence.
Stephen and I essentially experience the same phenomenon, though we aren’t twins, and we were never conjoined, as far as we know. I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if I found out we actually were conjoined at birth. It would be strange to see a newborn baby conjoined to a 5.6-year old, but stranger things have happened… right?
Anyway, though our intermingling relationship is optimal for comedy writing and producing, I’m not sure that live audiences would be ready to ingest such a beautiful bond between two brothers.
Stay tuned. We’ll figure something out and keep you all updated.
Until next time,
Michael J. Erickson, CEO & Co-Founder
